GETTYLucas Vazquez has helped Real Madrid to the Champions League semi-finals
Real Madrid resumed the second half with much intensity as Ronaldo nearly forced his way through but the Bilbao defence was alert to deny him of the free entrance.
Ronaldo netted an 87th-minute equalizer with a subtle touch of the ball with his back to the goal, redirecting a low shot by Luka Modric from outside the area to give Madrid a 1-1 draw against Athletic Bilbao on Wednesday. This means, therefore, that the current objective for the Bavarian club is to make it to the Champions League final, a test that begins next Wednesday against Real Madrid.
And the hosts, who had 29 shots on goal, appeared as though they were going to be punished for their profligate finishing, until the Portuguese forward came to their rescue again three minutes from time.
With the domestic title out of reach, La Liga has become nearly a distraction for Real Madrid as they pursue their third consecutive Champions League crown, reports EFE news agency.
"But we are arriving [for the semi-final] well physically and mentally, even if today's result was not so good".
"What we must do is try not to watch or listen to what you [media] are saying, but just focus on the positives".

China's ZTE may lose Android software licence as US market woes build
It's unclear what exactly this means, as Android is open-source software that anyone can use as they like. American companies are estimated to provide 25-30 percent of the components used in ZTE's equipment.
Raul Garcia struck the crossbar for Athletic after half-time as Madrid's earlier momentum waned but Lucas insisted a draw was the least they deserved for their efforts.
Williams hailed the advice of veteran team-mate Aritz Aduriz after cutely dinking home his third goal in Athletic's past six matches in all competitions.
Bale and Isco came on with just over 20 minutes left, the latter receiving the warmer welcome, but it was not until the 87th minute that Real finally found an equaliser.
Valencia stayed in fourth place after a 2-1 home loss to Getafe, its second straight setback after a run of nine consecutive matches unbeaten.
"The most important thing for us is to try to get back to second place, which is our goal", Zidane added.
