    "Diego Costa's importance to Atletico Madrid made very obvious by coach Diego Simeone's willingness to play him when clearly unfit. The Argentine said last night that his side had been preparing to play without him - now they get that chance but will it have a psychological impact?"

    "We heard about all these injuries before the match, but it's such a competitive game, a high-demand match at the end of a long season. When Diego Costa was chasing Sergio Ramos, he looked across to the bench and gave a signal."

    Almost 70% possession for Real in the opening 10 minutes. No chances to speak of yet though, and that will suit Atletico. They are getting touch tight to Cristiano Ronaldo.

    Well that didn't last long.

    Diego Costa's experiment lasts less than 10 minutes as he comes off injured. It's Adrian Lopez who takes his place, to huge jeers around the stadium.

    That horse placenta just hasn't done the trick. Get well soon for the World Cup DC...

    Sami Khedira is dovetailing nicely with Luka Modric in the Real Madrid midfield as he makes his comeback from a serious knee injury. You could see that with Bastian Schweinsteiger in the Germany midfield in a few weeks' time.

    When that Real front three combine, you are in trouble. Terrific break down the right from full-back Daniel Carvajal sees him pick out Karim Benzema and he almost picks out Gareth Bale with a lovely touch - it just doesn't quite work out though.

    Has the die been cast here? Atletico are sitting deep and waiting to hit on the counter.

    "I hate to say that it's too early for a yellow card, Miranda should have been booked for that elbow in the back on Ronaldo."

    Diego Simeone, a force of nature on the touchline, is already waving his men around like a traffic cop in downtown New York. Cristiano Ronaldo's first real touch sees him clattered by Miranda - the Atletico defender carrying as much clout as the comedienne.

    Ronaldo is down on his backside moaning at referee Bjorn Kuipers but it's game on. Good tempo to the opening stages.

    Tremendous atmosphere in Lisbon - as you'd expect. Real start us off with Gareth Bale beating two men down the right flank inside the opening 40 seconds before running into a red-and-white wall.

    "This is what they've been waiting for, but now the teams want to focus, get the game started and let's see what happens."

    The Atletico fans hold up a huge banner which translates as 'Our Way of Life.'

    To be honest, huge finals haven't been their way of life for the past 20-odd years but that's all changed under Diego Simeone. A lovely live rendition of the Champions League anthem and we are good to go!

    Henry: When you look at this line-up for Real Madrid, how do they even lose games? Scary, talented starting XI.

    Teknicality: Ronaldo will play his heart out, Lisbon is home turf and he wants it.

    It's like the opening scene from Les Miserables as a load of sailors play tug of war with some blue rope. Have I got any idea what is going on? Nope. It's the nonsense of an opening ceremony. It's keeping the players waiting in the tunnel, that's for sure. Gareth Bale looks pumped.

    The World Cup! It's less than three weeks away now. Just get this small game out of the way and then you won't be able to move for Manaus...

    England captain Steven Gerrard, speaking to ITV about the forthcoming World Cup: "We have that determination to come back with your head held high, give it one last final go. We've only been together for four or five days, we have this weekend off before joining back up at St George's Park next week. Hopefully the spirit will build and get stronger closer to the games. But it is winning that makes that spirit stronger, hopefully we can get off to a good start against Italy.

    "It's great that the team and squad is full of legs and energy - especially for me coming up to my 34th birthday. Your career flies by so quickly that you have to enjoy these moments, but you only enjoy them when you're winning. With three games to go before the Italy match the manager has to start looking at the team that he will start in that first game. I'm sure he will try a few tweaks but it's close and I'm sure he will want to get that starting XI sorted."

    Sean Williamson: Ross Turnbull, Champions League winner. Just let that sink in for a moment.

    Rezaa Sait: Has to be Steven Gerrard not winning the PL after the loyalty and professionalism he has shown throughout his career.

    There goes your 15-minute warning. The nerves will really be kicking in for some of these players now.

    Twelve months ago Gareth Bale had just scored the winner for Tottenham in their last game of the season against Sunderland. In a little over two hours time he could be a Champions League winner...
