The Bernabeu was evacuated after warnings of a possible blast came through. A bomb threat was made to a Basque newspaper - Gara, who immediately passed on the message that a device had been placed in the VIP area at The Bernabeu.
Around 70,000 fans were present in the ground as the message from the Basque separatist group ETA came through - but everyone was evacuated within ten minutes without any major incident.
The match was halted with Real drawing 1-1 with Socidedad. Ronaldo having given the home side a first half lead before Nihat levelled late on. Spanish football authorities will meet today to decide whether to play the last two minutes, replay the game or - as is most likely - allow the result to stand.
