Nevertheless Athletic had few problems keeping their rivals at bay in the first 15 minutes as central defenders Fernando Amorebieta and Miken san Jose produced almost flawless displays.

The visitors intensified their pressure as the game continued, but Kaka had left his shooting boots at home and Ronaldo began to show the worst aspects of his game, falling over too easily and complaining against every decision that didn't favor him.

Gorka meanwhile was stopping everything Madrid could throw at him and the game ended with Athletic denied a clear penalty for a foul on Llorente. Although referee Gonzalez Vazquez somehow found six minutes of injury time, Madrid was not able to take advantage of his generosity.

Athletic left the pitch to a standing ovation from its delighted fans, who never stopped cheering their heroes on to victory.

In football, sometimes there are things that money can't buy.
