#1 Sergio Ramos and the love for red cards
Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos was sent off for a second bookable offense in the 86th minute, his 19th red-card in La Liga.
Not only did the Spaniard etch his name in the history books for being the player with the most red cards in the history of La Liga, he also afforded Bilabo a slight opportunity to punish Madrid and get their hands on all of the three points.
However, the Real Madrid defence coped up exceptionally in the absence of their leader and made life difficult for the Bilbao forwards.
The 31-year-old was given his marching orders for a second bookable offense after he was adjudged to have elbowed Aritz Aduriz. The red card helped Ramos steer clear of Xavi Aguado and Pablo Alfaro as the footballer with most dismissals in La Liga.
Meanwhile, the points tally by the Santiago Bernabeu outfit after 14 games (28) is the lowest since 2008 that Real Madrid have earned in a similar time span.
The draw helped Barcelona maintain their 8-point lead over their arch-rival and it is something that the Catalan giants' fans will be hoping comes into play at the business end of the season.
