Crisis? What crisis?

Real have been very poor but when you've got Cristiano Ronaldo in the team you don't need to play well. Ronaldo hangs high from a corner to score a truly brilliant header Unstoppable.

Whistles, jeers ring out in Madrid. Real haven't turned up and Roberto Di Matteo's men sniff a second goal. A Schalke win seemed crazy talk at kick-off - it was a 14/1 shot don't forget - but now the Germans are utterly dominant.

Just under way in the only game in the Championship, as Reading host Brighton near the foot of the table. Reading have won only one of their last six games in the Championship, but the Seagulls have not won any of their last four away games, losing two.

In League One, top of the table Bristol City are away at Yeovil and they are 15 minutes in. Former Glovers defender Luke Ayling had the first chance for Bristol City, driving forward and hitting a shot just past right post. But it remains goalless.

And at Coventry v Bradford, both sides could already have netted but the main star of this fixture is the Ricoh pitch, horribly cut up following a London Wasps rugby fixture at the weekend.

Porto captain Danilo can't recover from that sickening collision and Netherlands international Bruno Martins Indi replaces him.

Thoroughly deserved! Schalke lead and Real Madrid have been wretched. No cover at all at the far post as Klaas-Jan Huntelaar leaves a cross nicely for left-back Christian Fuchs, he hammers in a shot and Iker Casillas pats it into the net.

Dare I say it, but David De Gea would have saved that...

Tie on!

Ooof! Get a name on it! Porto keeper Fabiano and captain Danilo both go for a high ball and that's an almighty collision. They are both down having treatment. That hurt.

The Schalke fans are making all the din in a subdued Bernabeu. This is pretty mundane stuff from Madrid. Teenage Schalke keeper Timon Wellenreuther hasn't had a thing to do, as at the other end Max Meyer shoots wide from 22 yards.

Porto very nearly extend their lead as midfielder Casemiro floats a cracking effort onto the roof of the net from a good 35+ yards. What a hit!

It's in there! A free-kick right on the edge of the box, get it over the wall and you score. And that's exactly what Yacine Brahimi does, clipping it over the wall and into the net.

Cliche time but:

'In a way that doesn't change what Basel have to do. They always needed to score and another 1-1 draw would take this to extra-time...'

Farley: Come on Schalke!

Rian Hoskins: Schalke have a better team than people give them credit for, but with injuries and the aggregate score Real Madrid should win.

Ross Lamont: Schalke can win. It's just unlikely.

Real Madrid are defending like Manchester United. Badly.

Schalke get in very easily again and an offside flag is up as Marco Hoger rattles a shot at Iker Casillas. My prediction after three minutes that Schalke may not get another chance was absolute tosh.

Porto want a penalty as Yacine Brahimi takes a tumble - but no dice. First goal tonight could be massive in this tie.

Chance! Best chance of the night falls for Schalke, and it's a good one too. Max Meyer - who fans of a football management game will know will be world class in a few years - gets into space on the left, looks up and picks out Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting on the edge of the box. He tries to side-foot in first time but it's a poor effort. Well, well wide.

Real Madrid have lost four times since the turn of the year and you can see it in their play. Not at their fluent best, like a sitcom that's gone one season too far.

There's so much quality in the team though, it can click into gear at any stage and Isco is almost in, but his shot is turned away.

You have it, we'll have it so far in Porto. The hosts are playing a very high defence, perhaps in the knowledge that Basel's veteran striker Marco Streller is about as fast as longshore drift.

Give him a cross though, and he's in business.

Fabio Coentrao bombs on down the left and whips in an early cross which Gareth Bale is close to meeting on the volley. Isco then finds Karim Benzema, who beats one man and sees a shot blocked. Real simmering.

Schalke win the ball from Isco and they are in real business - it's three on three! Klaas-Jan Huntelaar is in oceans at the back stick but the pass over is awful, right at Iker Casillas.

There are 87 minutes of the tie left but Schalke may not get a better chance than that.

Gareth Bale's first touch is a driving run down the right but his pass inside is miscontrolled by Isco. The Spanish for 'We're gonna score in a minute!' rings out.

And game on in Portugal. Not a full house.
