Good afternoon and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE coverage of the Spanish Liga fixture between Athletic Club and Real Madrid. We'll bring you all the action as it happens at San Mames. Kick off is at 13:00 GMT.

What a leader Ramos is. He has scored five goals in seven games since the restart of the Liga season. He has come up big when Real Madrid have needed him this season.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Athletic Club 0 Real Madrid 1 (73 mins - Sergio Ramos pen). The Real Madrid centre back steps up to the penalty spot and finds the corner of the net with a well-taken shot! Simon went the right way, but there was no way for the Athletic Club goalkeeper to get there! A big moment for Los Blancos!

It's going to be Ramos to take it. The Real Madrid centre back has already scored nine times in La Liga this season. Will he reach double figures? This is a big moment in Real Madrid's season.

PENALTY KICK TO REAL MADRID! Garcia stood on Marcelo's foot inside the box and the referee points to the spot after a VAR check!

VAR check! The officials are going to look at a challenge on Marcelo in the penalty area. Was this a spot kick? Marcelo is still down on the ground in some pain. An anxious wait at San Mames...

There is still time for Real Madrid to take a grip of this game, but they need to crank things up quickly! Athletic Club are looking good for at least a point, here. An even contest.

And on comes De Marcos for Athletic Club. He will get the final 25 minutes.

It's the home side who turn to the bench first, with Vesga coming on for Athletic Club.

Will Zidane make some changes to his side? They need something extra in these final 30 minutes. Rodrygo hasn't offered much. Might we see Vinicius come on for him soon?

Looping header over the bar! The corner kick was sent to the back post, Ramos got on the end of it, but it was always going to be difficult to test Simon from there. His header loops over.

You didn't miss much in the time that I was turning my laptop off and on again. Both teams are keeping each other at arm's length. Real Madrid just starting to turn the screw, though.

Apologies for the break in updates. We had a technical issue. The whole thing crashed on us. Fixed it now. Yes, I turned it off and back on again. Up and running again. Still 0-0.

Modric shoots! The Croatian midfielder gets his strike away from the edge of the penalty box, but Simon makes the save. Real Madrid need to test the goalkeeper more often.

No changes made by either side at the break. Zidane will want more from his Real Madrid players in this second half. The pressure is on for them to maintain their pace at the top of La Liga.

The second half is under way! It's still goalless between Athletic Club and Real Madrid in this Spanish Liga fixture!

What did you make of the first half at San Mames? Does Zidane need to make any changes to his Real Madrid side at the break? Can Athletic Club take all three points? Tweet me!

HALF TIME: Athletic Club 0-0 Real Madrid. It's been a fascinating opening 45 minutes at San Mames. Athletic Club will be the happier of the two teams. Real Madrid improving, though.
