Sergio Ramos is booked for a tackle that my old PE teacher would have handed out commendations for. Thumping, sure, but clean as a whistle.

"Arsenal did really well there, working hard to win the ball back.

"Oxlade-Chamberlain worked himself in to space to hit the shot and a beautiful finish."

A goal his performance has thoroughly merited! Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain puts qualification beyond any doubt with a fine third. Credit again to Alexis Sanchez, who wins the ball back in the final third with a sliding tackle, Oxlade-Chamberlain picks up the pieces, powers past the last man and buries the low shot across the keeper. Fine goal.

Liverpool getting closer! Adam Lallana is the architect this time, moving the ball onto his left foot on the corner of the box before flashing an early shot right across goal.

"Alberto Moreno's willingness to get up the pitch - from the first minute, he has wanted to get up there. He has been absolutely fearless on that left side."

Shot on target from Liverpool, left-back Alberto Moreno testing Iker Casillas from range. No dramas for the veteran though, down and behind it all the way. The zip has gone from this game a bit.

David McNaught:, external Liverpool fans a real credit. In great voice. Jose must be jealous. (Not about the team, of course).

Almost! Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has been terrific this evening, and he is at it again, beating one man before standing up a cross which Danny Welbeck flicks wide on the stretch.

Johnny Russell celebrates after putting Derby 2-1 up against Huddersfield on the stroke of half-time.

Steve McClaren's side have lost their last two. Can they close it out against the Terriers in the second 45?

Steven Gerrard's name is sung by the Liverpool fans, but it's Real Madrid who are warming replacements up. Gareth Bale is going through the motions - could we have two Welshmen on the field soon enough?

James Rodriguez then gets a card for hacking down the flying Lazar Markovic. Real pace down the middle.

Plenty of urgency about Arsenal's start to the second half. Arsene Wenger wants a third and out...

Andrew Neill:, external The only reason this isn't a rugby score already is Real's poor finishing. LFC's defence looks more porous than a slashed sieve

Ali Hough:, external WHAT IF Liverpool won tonight? Would Rodgers then drop the starting XI for the Chelsea match?

Liverpool chasing white shadows. Real Madrid put together a moment of class as Isco, Karim Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo link up, Martin Skrtel and Kolo Toure don't know what day it is but again Simon Mignolet reads the script, getting behind Ronaldo's swerving shot to beat clear.

Champions League goal number 71 is proving an elusive beast for the Real Madrid seven...

Lovely move! Arsenal at their slick one-touch best, popping it around and through the defence, it all opens up for Kieran Gibbs but he goes for the perfect goal, a square ball when a shot was on. He was only 10 yards out...

'The fields of Anfield Road' is heard cascading down the Bernabeu's stands - as captain Martin Skrtel goes into the book for a foul on Cristiano Ronaldo. Only a few feet outside of the box, that was dangerous...

And game on in London.

Back under way in Spain...

Here come the sides. Gareth Bale has been in Spain too long - he's wrapped up with gloves, body warmer and all sorts. It's Madrid, not Merthyr Tydfil...
