The final moments of a helter-skelter first half in the Bernabeu end peacefully.

Sensational early goal? Yep. Missed penalty? Yep. Loads of brilliant saves? Yep. It's all been going off. 

But the bottom line is that Real Madrid lead 1-0 after Karim Benzema's thunderous half volley.

And breathe...

Italian Serie A

Let's quickly jump on board the 20:15 GMT to Milan for a quick update from Italy's big game of the night.

Eighth-placed Lazio took an early lead at the San Siro through Marco Parolo, but Milan have hit back through ex-Sevilla man Carlos Bacca.

Who needs De Gea when you've got Sergio Rico! I think every entry so far has mentioned the Sevilla stopper...

But that's because he is well in the thick of things again. This time he scampers off his line to bravely fling himself at the feet of Gareth Bale.

Only that early worldy from Karim Benzema has beaten him.

No fireworks yet at the Parc des Princes with no goals in the opening 25 minutes.

Paris St-Germain have had their chances but Monaco have plenty to play for as they look to secure Champions League football and are putting up a fight.

Sergio Rico is still the main protagonist in this footballing tale of the prince and the (relative) pauper. The alert Sevilla keeper hares off his line to meet Luka Modric's piercing throughball ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo. The Incredible Sulk was offside anyway.

Caught your breath back? I think that's what the entire Santiago Bernabeu is currently trying to do. 

The Madridista Ultras on the Fondo Sur end the brief lull, breaking into a drum-led chant that drives their team forward.

Karim Benzema has a pop from the edge of the box, but that isn't bothering Sergio Rico in the Sevilla goal.

They're under way in Paris as the champions celebrate their latest title win. 

Former player Jay-Jay Okocha is a special guest. 

Not a bad weekend for the family after Okocha's nephew Alex Iwobi scored his first goal for Arsenal yesterday.

Sevilla's prolific marksman Kevin Gameiro has never scored against Real Madrid....and he still hasn't! Great save from Madrid keeper Keylor Navas, stretching his frame out to the right and blocking the France international's low drill.

Navas screams to the air in delight, the Bernabeu rejoices.

Stupid. Defenders should be fined a week's wages for idiocy like this. Raphael Varane tugs the shirt of Adil Rami as that free-kick is swung into a packed Madrid box - and referee Javier Estrada points straight to the spot.

Every single Madrid player complains. They can't...

Sevilla are hardly sitting back though. Attack is the best form of defence, it seems they believe. Free-kick in a dangerous spot on the right flank...

Roll up, roll up! Come and see the Sergio Rico show!! The Sevilla keeper blocks a howitzer of a Cristiano Ronaldo shot low to his left, then springs across the other way when Gareth Bale goes all acrobatic on us.

Madrid could be winning about 6-0 if it wasn't for the newly-selected Spain squad keeper...

Another minute, another Madrid chance. Sevilla are all over the shop defensively, allowing Karim Benzema a free header from a corner. You can't do that. But the Madrid striker's downward nod lacks power and Sergio Rico gathers.

Madrid's star man loves playing against Sevilla, scoring more against them than any other Spanish side....

Sergio Rico is earning his monthly pay packet in one shift. The Sevilla keeper is called into decisive action again, flinging himself low to his right to push Cristiano Ronaldo's shot - which has more fizz than a bottle of expensive bubbly - around his post.

And then Gareth Bale does have the ball in the net. But he looks across to see the linesman's flag wafting in the light Madrid breeze.

Bale bundles in Cristiano Ronaldo's free header, but is ruled offside. Wrongly. Very wrongly! He's about half a yard onside...

Fitness concerns? Pah. If Gareth Bale is not quite fit then I'm Cristiano Ronaldo. The Wales forward cracks a shot from 20 yards, only Sevilla keeper Sergio Rico's fingertips and then the post denying him.

Gareth Bale has looked sprightly in these opening exchanges, buzzing about in the Sevilla third.Penny for Chris Coleman's thoughts...

Monaco are the guests at Paris St-Germain's title celebrations but for them it's strictly business.

The Red and Whites are still in second spot in Ligue 1 as they look to secure Champions League football for next season but have won only one of their last five league games - drawing the other four.

It's party time for Paris St-Germain as they get the chance to celebrate their run-away title win in Ligue 1 in front of their own fans.

Tonight's visit of second-placed Monaco is their first home game since Laurent Blanc's side wrapped up a fourth successive championship with last Sunday's 9-0 rout of Troyes.
