Almost! James Rodriguez on the right, looks up and plays a cute ball into the goalmouth, Javier Hernandez is up to attack it and he can't beat Juanfran to the ball. The right-back does just enough to put a challenge on him and it drifts a yard over the top.

Andy in Armagh: Griezmann and Mandzukic have been in great form for Atletico Madrid this season. The club has an uncanny knack of bring in world-class attacking talent on the cheap, selling them onto the more established 'bigger' clubs for huge sums of money, then going on to find and replace them with more world-class talent. Think of their track record with Torres, Aguero, Forlan, Falcao, Costa etc.

If Predator was watching the game, this is how he'd see it.

On the left, Real Madrid's heat map shows that they have dominated possession with most of their play coming on the flanks. No real play in the penalty area though. Diego Simeone endorses this.

On the right, Atletico haven't had much of it at all.

"That shows Atletico can be adventurous - Jesus Gamez followed his man into his own half and robbed the ball from him."

Sergio Ramos's first midfield error as he overclubs a pass out to Raphael Varane. He can't keep the ball and it leads to a shot on goal from Jesus Gamez, right at Iker Casillas though and the Saint makes the stop.

Jay Hogaro: Don't understand Ramos in midfield. Reminds me of when Fergie played Rafael there causing Pogba to decide he needed to leave.

Michael in Manchester: Two great sides, same old theatrics. We've seen more players holding their face and making the elbow gesture to the referee than we have any actual football.

Industrial defending from Jesus Gamez - he just walks across Cristiano Ronaldo and puts him on the deck. Diego Simeone loves it! Clapping high over his head. Free-kick in a good spot though. Gareth Bale would have fancied this.

James Rodriguez takes it - and curls over the top.

Atletico Madrid now having their best spell of the game as Antoine Griezmann becomes an influence from the left. You can't miss him with his haircut. A peroxide streak right through the middle. Very Hoxton.

"It's a slow burner - both teams know so much is at stake. The first goal is so crucial, psychologically it will play a huge part in this game."

Naren Ramachandran: Good footballers need to stop going to Real Madrid and have their careers ended. Play at a club where your heart is.

Who's ending their career at Real?

"This is like watching Tony Pulis's Stoke."

It is a masterclass in keeping your shape so far from the men in red and white.

Daniel Woodley: Dear Porto,

Subject: Defending

Watch and learn

Yours Sincerely

Atletico Madrid

Arda Turan is the latest Atleti player to leave one on a team-mate as he swings an arm toward the face of Fabio Coentrao. No foul given, and Turan then has a very half-hearted appeal for a penalty waved away looking for handball.

"Atletico are so rigid and some people will say it's not a joy to watch but it takes a lot of work to get the players so disciplined."

Sergio Ramos is a goal threat of course, he's having the best goalscoring season of his career in fact, and he almost ghosts in late to meet a cracking ball from the left. Great defending though from Diego Godin who heads it out from the goalmouth.

If the opening 20 minutes are anything to go by, we could be here late tonight.

Gervase Kempinski: Why is Ramos in midfield when Khedira and Illarramendi on bench? These are quality players.

Sergio Ramos has looked very comfortable in this midfield role by the way. Good players can play anywhere.

You think that Asier Illarramendi's Madrid career may be coming to an end though. An expensive purchase, he's never got into the side and Real now prefer defenders ahead of him.

Just one match in the Football League tonight, as FA Cup semi-finalists Reading host Birmingham in the Championship. That game has just kicked off.
