00:00Hello there and welcome to the Bernabeu for a contest with massive consequences tonight.
00:06Real Madrid may be reeling from their Champions League exit but they have to immediately refocus on the La Liga title race in what could be a crucial encounter against high-flying athletic club of Bilbao.
00:19Even worse, they then had to watch Barcelona provide a remontade of their own yesterday just when it seemed Celta Vigo were going to do them a favour.
00:27So as it stands, Real Madrid begin this evening seven points behind their fierce rivals.
00:33Nothing less than a victory will do. Any sort of slip-up will almost certainly hand the title to the Catalans.
00:422-1 win for the visitors.
00:45Last half's winner, Vinny Jr. has two for company, does well to keep it alive.
00:51Modric, met with a clattering challenge there by Alex Berenguer.
00:57That's right, February of 2005.
01:02Last time they won here, Real Madrid have won eight of the last ten between these two clubs.
01:09Oh, that's lovely for Vinny Jr. dancing to the byline.
01:13Nothing's resulted from it, but maybe something will result from this corner.
01:17In it comes.
01:19Oh, no.
01:20More catching practice for Unai Simon and a quick throw too to Jalo.
01:25He's shrugged off of the ball way too easily.
01:28Vinny Jr.
01:30Oh, not that far away.
01:31Well, why not have a go from a more central position, a darting run past two or three defenders.
01:42And this is what the Real Madrid fans expect from a superstar.
01:48Not only being able to create that individual effort, but tracking back and winning the ball back for his team.
01:55That's the difference with today's Vinny Jr. and the Vinny Jr. that played the two legs against Arsenal.
02:03Very apathetic of the ball, very disengaged.
02:07And this is something that Real Madrid fans don't forget.
02:11A little more productive from one.
02:13Looking for an air-post flick.
02:14Oh, and it's pinballing around after Bellingham had touched it on.
02:22It's frustrating for Real Madrid.
02:24But in the right sort of area near post.
02:31Thumping challenge from Chouameni.
02:33It's well done.
02:34Now Vinny Jr.
02:37And he was obstructed.
02:41Put the ball one side, went the other way.
02:45And Prados.
02:48Now Camavinga combining with Rodrigo stepping over the first challenge.
02:51Vinny taking over.
02:52Trying to slip it back to Camavinga.
02:54And Rodrigo keeping it alive.
02:56Oh, and it's as close as Real Madrid have come.
03:00Right at the dawn of this second half.
03:02Rodrigo just a foot or so on the wrong side of the far post.
03:07It's a great combination between Camavinga and Vinicius.
03:13Rodrigo just far away from that right-winger position that he was playing in the first half.
03:19Trying to redeem himself.
03:21Looked like it was goal-bound in his initial effort before it was blocked.
03:26Sobias doing well to pick out Modric.
03:29And now Valverde!
03:30And that's another strategy that Real Madrid need to follow when you have players like Vinicius.
03:51Dani Ceballos himself, despite his poor...
03:53I'm not going to argue with that.
03:57Alex, you've got a pretty good track record in that department.
03:59And that is the difference of having Jude Bellingham playing a few yards behind the striker.
04:20That he can come from a deeper run and he can use Hendrik as a decoy to create some space for himself.
04:27What a delivery by Vinicius with the outside of his right foot.
04:33Another header up for grabs!
04:34It just goes wide.
04:36It's head-in-hands time for Los Blancos.
04:40Bellingham denied initially.
04:42Was it he from the corner?
04:44Yes, it was.
04:50Agonizingly close, Alex.
04:53It was very unlucky.
04:54It was a great header.
04:55And this is the cross by Vinicius Jr.
04:58Great!
04:59Reflected by Unai Simone.
05:01European champion with Spain this summer.
05:05Yeah, don't remind you Bellingham about that.
05:08That was totally unintended.
05:11Believe me.
05:14And now they pose a threat, Adrian.
05:17On the counter-attack because Marouane and Iñaki Williams are super fast.
05:23Verde trying to open things up.
05:25Into the side netting it goes.
05:34Good switch of play.
05:36He struggled to get a hold of that ball.
05:38But no one helps out Unai Gomes now closing that left-hand side as a left-winger.
05:46Adama was too far from him.
05:47He didn't have any help.
05:49Holded immediately.
05:49Takes the free quick.
05:50Quickly.
05:51Valverde in towards Hendrik.
05:53And he was free.
05:55There's an awkward bounce that eluded him.
05:57Vinicius Jr.
05:58It's nicely done.
05:59Vinicius Jr.
06:00And in post!
06:00And there's the moment they've been waiting for!
06:08Vinicius Jr.
06:10Just when it was needed most.
06:13Brings the Bernabeu crowd to life.
06:16And perhaps re-injects life into Real Madrid's title campaign.
06:21Was Hendrik offside?
06:28That's a question.
06:33And will it be judged the same phase of play as well, Alex?
06:35It probably will, won't it?
06:37Because he interferes in Athletic Club's defender action.
06:42He prevents him for a good clearance.
06:45So this needs to be reviewed.
06:46But regardless, what a finish.
06:48What a move by Vinicius Jr.
06:51So calm.
06:53Surprising.
06:54An icy moon.
06:55With that shot at the near post.
06:58It really was an inch perfect finish from Vinicius Jr.
07:01You mentioned only three goal contributions in his last 12 games.
07:10He's going to go and take a look.
07:12Interesting.
07:12So this semi-automatic offside decision can only take you so far, can't it?
07:18You have to decide.
07:21That is what they are talking through now.
07:29Offside.
07:31Not going to count.
07:34The torment goes on here at the Bernabeu.
07:37Now, counter-attack possibilities.
07:40Stu Bellingham finding a seam.
07:44Brahim Diaz is the man outside.
07:48Follow-up header.
07:50Still up for grabs.
07:51Oh, and Bellingham couldn't bring it down.
08:00Valverde.
08:02Brahim Diaz into the penalty area.
08:04Brahim going to get it on his left foot.
08:06Forgot to take the ball with him.
08:08Valverde.
08:08Oh, yes!
08:10Ernesto Valverde!
08:14He needed something miraculous on Easter Sunday.
08:18And Valverde may just have produced it.
08:21What a finish.
08:22What a strike.
08:24What a strike by Fede Valverde.
08:27It all starts with Brahim Diaz.
08:30And when Fede recovers that ball, that bad clearance by Inigo Leque,
08:34look at this shooting technique.
08:37Perfect.
08:38With the outside of the foot, just curling the ball into the top corner.
08:44Nothing to do for Anais Simon there.
08:46What a strike by Federico Valverde to give Real Madrid the victory, the win.
08:53Carlo Ancelotti, so relieved.
08:55So was the crowd.
08:56So is Fede Valverde.
08:58Even Kylian Mbappé feeling the happiness.
09:02Huge relief.
09:03And there is the final whistle.
09:12Carlo Ancelotti serenades his man.
09:16V for victory.
09:18Federico Valverde producing the all-important moment.
09:22And Alex, Real Madrid keeping their title hopes alive.
09:25Hello.
09:28So is Fede Valverde-R Game Hive.
