Real Madrid Spoke after the draw at San Mames

Held to a goalless draw at the Estadio San Mames, Real Madrid midfielder, Casemiro, bemoaned his side's luck but suggested if they carried on ploughing the same furrow that the goals will come.

After receiving a yellow card during the match against Athletic Club, the Brazilian will now miss Real's next game against Sevilla.

"We had a chance to cut points and we played well," he said after the match.

"We had a lot of opportunities, but it's football, the ball didn't want to go in.

"But when it does, it won't stop, so we have to keep working."

It was the first time in 182 days - since the Champions League final in Cardiff - that Real had played with that same starting XI.

"We have a great squad and we've shown it today," Casemiro continued.

"The good thing is that we want to play everyone, and once Bale is back, he will be very important."

Though it's another two points dropped, the midfielder wasn't overly unhappy.

"It's a difficult ground and rival to visit," he noted.

"We dominated the whole game, except for the last five minutes."
