Good evening and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE coverage of the Spanish Liga fixture between Real Madrid and Athletic Club. We'll bring you all the action as it happens at the Santiago Bernabeu. Kick off is at 20:00 GMT.

The match is under way! It's Real Madrid against Athletic Club in this La Liga fixture.

Okay, here we go. We're about to get started at the Santiago Bernabeu. Kick off is just moments away.

This is one of the most historic fixtures in La Liga. Neither of these two teams have been relegated, although Athletic Club's record at the Santiago Bernabeu is poor.

This is the final game of 2019 in La Liga and this should be a good match between two quality sides. Looking forward to this one.

A victory for Athletic Club could take them up into the top six. Their season has been solid so far, but they must find consistency if they are to finish in the European places.

Barcelona went three points clear at the top of the Spanish Liga table yesterday with a home win over Alaves and so the pressure shifts back on to Real Madrid to draw level again with a win tonight.
