Earlier on Sunday, Real Madrid announced that Ballon d’Or winner Benzema would leave the club as a free agent in the close season.

This was after 14 trophy-laden years, with the French striker linked with a move to Saudi Arabian side Al Ittihad.

After Thibaut Courtois saved a Mikel Vesga penalty kick early in the first half, Athletic Bilbao took the lead in the 49th minute through Oihan Sancet. This was after Sancet stabbed a tame effort at the goalkeeper before rifling in the rebound for his 10th league goal of the season. Real Madrid levelled in the 72nd minute after Eder Militao took an elbow to the face from Yuri Berchiche in Athletic Bilbao’s penalty area.ALSO READ:
