Karim Benzema marked his exit from Real Madrid with a goal against Athletic Bilbao.

Bilbao had taken the lead early in the second-half, courtesy of a goal from Oihan Sancet.

The visitors had also missed a first-half penalty, with Thibaut Courtois making a fine save.

Karim Benzema made no mistake from the spot in the 72nd minute, as he scored the leveller for the Los Blancos, to mark his 19th La Liga goal of the season.

Benzema was taken off two minutes afterwards, as he said goodbye to a standing ovation from the Santiago Bernabéu faithful.

Marco Asensio was also given an ovation late in the game, as he played his last match for Real Madrid.
