Athletic Bilbao vs Levante
With the title all but officially confirmed as gone, Real's focus will now turn to overcoming a formidable Bayern side in the last four of the Champions League for the second season running. The task begins with next Wednesday's first leg at the Allianz Arena.
Meanwhile, Athletic can heap more misery on relegation-threatened Levante with a home win on Monday.
While he couldn't hold the hosts off for the entire second half, Athletic's precocious keeper had still delivered a performance reaffirming him as a rising talent.
Even though he'd conceded, Arrizabalaga finished this return meeting having delivered a fine night's work:
Athletic goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga reportedly turned down Real when he inked a new lengthy contract set to run over seven years back in January, per Sky Sports. He admitted there had been offers, but called Athletic his "home," per Goal's Jamie Smith.
The 23-year-old stopper showed Los Blancos what they're missing with a superb display.
Arrizabalaga's reflexes were flawless more than once during the opening 45 minutes, as he denied Marco Asensio, Ronaldo and Sergio Ramos.
The fingertip save to push Asensio's effort wide of the post after the midfielder's brilliant solo run drew special praise from FourFourTwo's Kiyan Sobhani:
Once again, Bale's absence from the starting XI was notable. The Welshman continues to be overlooked, despite moving to the Spanish capital for a world-record transfer fee in 2013.
Before the game, Santiago Siguero and Chris Winterburn of Marca described how Bale is only being used when regular starters are rested for league duty. It's robbing him of chances to stake his claim to start in Real's upcoming Champions League semi-final title against Bayern Munich.
Karim Benzema was given the nod ahead of Bale, but the Frenchman struggled during the first half. Yet ESPN FC's Dermot Corrigan noted how one tricky moment for Benzema didn't prompt questions about Bale:

34th round of Spanish Primera Liga is going to be closed with a Monday evening clash between Athletic Bilbao and Levante. The hosts want to improve their league stature, while the away side is looking for the points in their relegation battle.
After Ernesto Valverde left the bench at the end of the previous season and took over Barcelona, the hosts couldn’t recover of that loss. They are having a disappointing season and are currently on the 13th place. Home side has been involved in many draws, especially when playing in front of their fans. Their matches have been pretty tight this season and although they did a good job in the back, Athletic Bilbao had some troubles in converting their chances into goals. With a potential win in this one, they could hope of finishing the season in the top half of the table.
The visitors celebrated very important victory in the latest round against Malaga which may secure them the place in the top flight for the next season. They are six points ahead of Deportivo La Coruna and have been in pretty fine form since they have lost only once in the last five matches. Emmanuel Boateng and the lads are struggling to find the oppositions’ net while their defence is not so tight. Levante managed to get back home with a win in only two occasions which males them one of the worst visiting teams in the competition.
