Real Madrid v Athletic Bilbao live: Karim Benzema scores in last game for Los Blancos as Oihan Sancet nets for visitors

Ceballos nearly played Benzema in on goal, the moment the crowd are desperate for.

The midfielder looked to slide him in with a clever back heel but again it was read well by the so far stubborn defence of Athletic Club.

Vini Jr goes on one of his incredible runs, twisting and turning Vivian inside out after beating Herrera with pace.

He looks for the runs of Camavinga and Rodrygo in the box but it is cleared away.

Courtois take a bow.

It is Vesga who steps up and his penalty is far from great. It is soft and at a nice height for the keeper as he guesses the right way to turn it aside.

A corner is whipped in by Athletic to the back post, I.WIlliams heads it and Kroos' arm is out and it hits him.

His arm is away from his body and despite him not looking at the ball it was in an unnatural position - penalty awarded.

Real Madrid have settled in to proceedings and have had 66% of the ball already.

Athletic are hoping to break quickly with the pace of the Williams brother out wide when they do get it.

Rodrygo looks to take it beyond De Marcos who puts his arm in the face of the Brazilian to stop him - no foul given from the ref.

Real Madrid are being in a relaxed way with Kroos dictating things in a quarterback like role in midfield with long ranges passes out to the wings.

A bit of a sloppy start from the hosts as Vinicius has the ball pinched from be Vesga with ease.

Athletic Bilbao attack with I.Williams, who spots his brother's great run in behind but the pass is overhit - N.Williams was in if he could be found.

In fitting fashion, Benzema gets the ball rolling.

What a career! He will lead Real Madrid out the tunnel for the final time in a matter of moments.

Real Madrid will secure second place ahead of Atletico Madrid is they match or better their city rivals' result against Villarreal.

But the stakes are much higher for Athletic Club - they are hoping to finish seventh and secure a spot in next season's Conference League.

There is just one spot up for grabs, Osasuna and Athletic have it in their hands on 50 points, Girona and Real Vallecano are one behind.

Osasuna face Girona in a huge clash and Vallecano meet Mallorca with all matches kicking off in ten minutes.

Real Madrid icons and current players have written tributes to Karim Benzema.
