The Real captain stepped up to convert a penalty with just seventeen minutes to go after the referee, who had initially not pointed for a penalty, went to the TV monitor on the touchline to judge that Marcelo had been fouled.
Remarkably, that is Ramos’s 10th goal of the season and his fifth in just seven games since La Liga returned to action in June.
With this win, Real Madrid stays at top of the 2019-20 La Liga standings with 77 points from 34 games, seven more than second-placed Barcelona, which has a game in hand against fifth-placed Villarreal later tonight.
Meanwhile, Athletic Bilbao stays at eighth with 48 points and four games to go. It is currently a place below the Europa League spots, occupied by Villarreal, Getafe and Real Sociedad. Atletico Madrid and Sevilla are at third and fourth respectively.
