Betis fans want a penalty! Dani Ceballos tumbles as he competes with Raphael Varane, but his fall is met with a finger wag from the ref. That would have been harsh...

Betis can't...can they?! The home side spring forward for what seems like the first time since they scored in the first half. But a cross from the right just evades striker Ruben Castro at the far post and Madrid regroup to clear.

Another Madrid chance. This time it is Cristiano Ronaldo who wastes it. The Madrid superstar slashes over the bar, but tries to make amends seconds later when he dashes to the near post to meet a low cross. But Betis keeper Adan is alert to bravely dive at this feet to block.

Madrid sub Jese's only impact so far is running into the back of the Betis left-back and conceding a free-kick. Sigh of relief for the hosts as they run down the clock. The vociferous home fans raise the noise levels again as they try to sing their heroes towards the final whistle.

Into the final 10 minutes. Can Betis hold on for a point? If I was a betting man then I would stick my last Euro on an away win...

Michael Glasper: Italian football at it's finest: patient, probing & intelligent . Juventus showing Chelsea how you recover from a poor start. 

Napoli will be hoping it stays this way as they look to stay clear at the top of Serie A.

Roma's title hopes look all but over but if they can put the brakes on Juve's charge it will go down well in Naples where the league title hasn't been celebrated since 1990.

No goals but plenty of fervour at the Juventus Stadium.

An attacking change for Madrid. Jese comes on - can he stretch the tiring Betis defence even more?

Madrid are knocking on the Betis door with the force of an angry bailiff. Home keeper Adan - a former Madrid youngster - denies his former club with a pair of stunning saves in a matter of seconds. First he acrobatically tips James Rodriguez's swerving shot wide, then instinctively sticks out a hand to block Karem Benzema's close-range rabona. Brilliant.

Mat Evans: Don't care what the official rule is, that goal is offside.

As the injured Gareth Bale urges his team to push for a winner, the home side make a final change to negate that possibility. It's a straight swap in the middle, Francisco Portillo replacing goalscorer Cejudo.

Juve striker Mario Mandzukic now sees yellow for an arm into the face of Roma defender Antoni Rudiger. That wouldn't haven't been out of place in the Six Nations when Italy get their campaign up and running against France on Saturday-week.

Mandzukic would, of course, be playing for Croatia. If Croatia had a team. Then it would be the Seven Nations. Oh, you know what we mean...

Substitute Dani Carvajal finds himself in acres of space in the right channel of the Betis box - but drags his shot across goal.

More huff and less puff from Madrid. Betis keeper Adan easily gathers, under no pressure, a heavy cross from away left-back Marcelo. No sign of any change yet from Zizou...

Rizpey: Something has to be wrong at Madrid behind the scenes, a club legend taking charge wont fix the blatant issues the club have.

Mohsin BCFC: Joaquin! One of the Betis originals.. Would be great to see him get a goal.

Just to clear up any doubt...yes that really is the Joaquin. The Joaquin who burst on to the scene as a pacy teenager and the one who you always bought for big bucks on Championship Manager circa 2000.

The now 34-year-old is back at his first club, earning some respite for his side when he gets a stray boot to the stomach close to the halfway line.
