It’s not just Modric who has been in excellent form in the centre of the pitch for Real Madrid. Casemiro and Kroos have also upped their game in recent weeks. Casemiro was brilliant against Atleti.

33'

Modric has rediscovered his Ballon d’Or-winning form over the last month or so. The Croatian is out of contract at the end of the season, but he’s still so important to what Real Madrid do through the midfield.

32'

30'

Kroos with the shot! The space opened up for the German midfielder 25 yards out from goal, but Simon was quite happy to watch the ball flash past his near post. No real danger.

29'

Simon has become Spain’s first choice goalkeeper in 2020, but the Athletic Club shot-stopper has been in poor form recently. He has been culpable for a few goals. He needs a good performance tonight.

28'

If there is a team that might be able to keep it tight at the back despite being down to 10 men, it's Athletic Club. This won't be easy for Real Madrid. This will be a challenge for them.

27'

26'

Athletic Club are a team that can cause problems for even the strongest sides in La Liga. Williams is a handful in attack, though he needs more cutting edge, and Garcia is a physical threat. Too physical, this evening.

25'

Valverde shoots wide! There wasn't enough whip in that shot from the Real Madrid midfielder to find the back of the net, but that was a half chance for Valverde on the edge of the box.

22'

No penalty! Real Madrid had a strong case there. Capa stopped Vinicius getting past him with an arm, but the referee has decided that didn't constitute a penalty. That looked like a spot kick to me!

21'

20'

Real Madrid have been getting better with every game they have played recently. They were very impressive in the back-to-back wins over Borussia Monchengladbach and Atletico Madrid.

19'

Vinicius goes down! Berenguer sticks out a leg inside the area, but there was no contact with Vinicius. Surely the Brazilian winger deserves a yellow card for diving to try and win a penalty?

18'

How can Real Madrid make the most of their man advantage? Athletic Club have a lot of defending ahead of them. There's over 70 minutes of this match left and they have 10 men!

17'

16'

There was just no need for Garcia to make that tackle. It was on the edge of the Real Madrid penalty area! A crazy challenge from the Athletic Club man. The away side now down to 10 men.

15'

SENT OFF! So foolish! Garcia picked up an early yellow card and now he's clattered into Kroos! The referee has no choice but to show the Athletic Club veteran a second yellow! He's off!

Chance for Williams! The Athletic Club forward is played through the middle, but he sends his side-footed effort wide of the far post. He wants a penalty kick for what he saw as a foul by Carvajal!

14'

The angle was tight! Vazquez played a pass over the top, but it was always going to be difficult for Benzema to get that shot on target and he slices high and wide in the end!

12'

Garcia picks up his customary yellow card for a foul on Kroos.
