Diego Simeone is working the crowd as Real give away a stupid free-kick to eat up some more time. And again! Brililant canny play from David Villa. Is he about to win the big trophy with a second club?

He has a minute or so of normal time to go...

Sergio Ramos is forward for Real now. All hands to the pump.

Xabi Alonso, the every epitome of cool before the game, has lost it now. All over the place in the stands.

FIVE MINUTES LEFT.

Real have piled it on since the break but the message from Atletico remains the same: "You shall not pass...!"

Kieran Colton:, external Atletico have parked the bus, put the handbrake on and slashed the tires.

Some of this defending is miraculous from Atletico Madrid. Bodies on the line doesn't do it justice...

Jon Evans:, external Bale's bottling it.

Sean Collins:, external For 85 million you'd think Gareth Bale could use his right foot.

Chris, London: Gareth Bale really has the air of a man who has let the occasion get to him and is just trying too hard rather than letting his game come naturally.

Intricate stuff from Gareth Bale again, this time he finds Angel Di Maria on the left, he feeds over a wonderful pass which somehow evades everyone.

Then Marcelo can't force in a header at the back post. It's siege time!

Atletico eat up the clock with another change. It's Toby Alderweireld on for Filipe Luis. Atletico are 10 minutes or so away from the double.

TEN MINUTES REMAIN. Atletico Madrid fans must feel like this half has lasted years already.

"Gareth Bale has gone with the outside of the left foot, but he's kicked the ground first and taken a divot out. That's another good chance for Bale."

Alvaro Morata, you have 12 minutes to save the quest for La Decima. The youngster replaces Karim Bezema.

Isco then conjures up an incredible touch to bring down a cross but he too is smothered by this blanket Atletico defence.

How many men have they got on the field? Must be 15 at least...

Like a Uruguayan Ryan Shawcross, Diego Godin has been magnificent in the air tonight, beating Karim Benzema again and again.

But there's another chance for Gareth Bale! Brilliant pace and power to skip away from a man on the right, but he shoots when this time the cross was on and he fluffs it wide.

"The seconds tick away and Real Madrid are just starting to find some openings - but their radar is off target and Atletico Madrid are defending every ball with fierce intent."

"I think that Atletico are coming off the pace slightly, they are playing deeper and Real are just getting back into it a bit."

Cristiano Ronaldo hooks an acrobatic effort over the top after Raphael Varane nodded it back across goal. Fifteen to go...

Mike G:, external The way this game is going you'd be forgiven for thinking it was Atletico and not Real that has the team full of superstars.

John McEnerney:, external RM missing Xabi Alonso big time tonight, they are all over the place no shape at all.

David Ljunggren:, external If I didn't know better I'd say Real Madrid were suffering from nerves. What a horrible performance.

Surely there's a goal on the way?! Gareth Bale connects beautifully with Cristiano Ronaldo's lay-off, catches it sweet as a nut but it's always five yards wide. He holds his head in his hands, but this is far better from Real. Isco has added some pace into their passing.

Into the last 20 minutes now - it's attack against defence. I wager there's another goal in this but I wouldn't like to say which way.

Atletico counter and David Villa is booked for sliding in on Iker Casillas.

"The difference between the two sides is that Atletico work harder than any other team. They're good players, they're economical, they pass it well and when they don't have the ball they work incredibly hard to get it back."
