Bilbao: Real Madrid battled to a 2-1 win at Athletic Bilbao which moved Zinedine Zidane&rsquo;s men five points clear of Barcelona at the top of La Liga on Saturday.
The visitors welcomed back Gareth Bale from his two-match suspension and, after seeing an early effort from Cristiano Ronaldo ruled out by an offside flag, went ahead in the 24th minute through a neat finish from Karim Benzema.
Athletic, who had previously lost only once at home all season, scored a deserved equaliser through a close-range header from Aritz Aduriz just after the hour.
