Real Madrid’s fearsome BBC forward line failed to fire again.
They have lost points at a crucial juncture going down 1 – 0 to Athletic Bilbao yesterday.
Bale wasted a number of opportunities and Benzema looked like he needed a bit of lie down.C Ron is still search of his free kicking ability which has gone missing since April last year.

About 10 minutes from the end Bale almost scored what would have been the goal of the century- a shot at the goal from near the halfway line.
Unfortunately for him the goalpost got in the way.

Ronaldo was denied a pretty good shout for penalty when he was fouled in the box in the second half.When the dust had settled he emerged with a pretty bad looking gash on his ankle.Not something you want to pick up when you are searching for a lost free kicking ability.
