Isco looks to be playing on the right side with Asensio on the left. Does Zidane want width from the pair? One would have assumed Isco in particular would be through the middle.

Real Madrid have less than 20 minutes to find a winner. They have been poor in this second half. How many scoring opportunities have they actually created? It's been flat.
70'
Kroos couldn't repeat the trick! The pass was played back to the German midfielder on the edge of the box, but he couldn't do as he did in the first half and his shot is straight at Simon.

And Asensio is also introduced off the bench. Zidane clearly wants more creativity.

Real Madrid are still playing at the Estadio Alfredo di Stefano at Valdebebas while the Santiago Bernabeu is undergoing redevelopment work. It has become their temporary home in 2020.

It's relentless pressure from Real Madrid at the moment, but Athletic Club are doing a good job of keeping things tight at the back. There's not much space in behind them.

Varane struggles without Ramos alongside him. We saw that in the Champions League last 16 defeat to Manchester City and we have seen it in some of Real Madrid’s games so far this season.
61'
Talking of experienced heads (like Benzema) who make a big difference to Real Madrid, Zidane’s side look much more settled and better balanced since Ramos returned to the starting lineup following injury.

Carvajal gets the ball into the box from the right side, but there were simply too many red and white shirts for the Real Madrid right back to get his cross through. Athletic survive.
58'
Earlier this season, Zidane was rotating his team from game-to-game. He appears to have moved away from that strategy and is instead picking players he knows will do a good job for him. Fatigue a factor here?

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO... NO! Vinicius has the ball in the back of the net at the second time of asking, but the flag is up! He was offside when the ball came through from Carvajal.
54'
Zidane will surely be furious with the way his team have started the second half. Real Madrid took the lead right at the end of the first half, but they have failed to build on that.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Real Madrid 1 Athletic Club 1 (52 mins - Ander Capa). The 10 men of Athletic Club have equalised! Incredible! It wasn't pretty but Capa scuffs a finish into the back of the net after his initial effort was saved by Courtois! The away side had started the second half strongly and now they have a reward for that!
