I hope those weird recycled plastic jerseys Real are wearing are waterproof. Because it's properly tipping it down.

The players are just waiting in the tunnel to come out for the second half. Not long to go, Real sub Isco gives one of Sporting's players a hug. Nice.

John McEnerney: Wonder what the Zinedine Zidane version of the hairdryer treatment is. Whatever it is, Luka Modric is going to get some of it - or is ZZ too cool to lose it?

Real Madrid 2-1 Sporting Gijon
It's half-time at an absolute rain-soaked Bernabeu. Sporting Gijon are still in this game, against the odds.

Indeed Cristiano Ronaldo does shoot next time he gets near the box but his effort is straight at Sporting's stand-in keeper Diego Marino.
Postpublished at 41 mins
A rare instance here of Cristiano Ronaldo opting to pass when he could take a shot on himself - especially when he's seeking a hat-trick. He runs to the edge of the box, but slips in Lucas Vazquez instead, who fires into the side netting.
I don't think he'll be making the 'mistake' of passing next time.

Seth Gogo Egoeh: What was going through Modric's head when he cheaply gave away possession which led to that goal? Poor!

Carlos Carmona
Game on! Luka Modric loses possession for Real Madrid with a poor pass and Sporting break down the left, with Carlos Carmona turning home an Isma Lopez cross with the outside of his boot from 16 yards out.
Maybe time to cancel those plans you made for the second-half procession.

Pepe is getting strapping around his foot and it looks like he's going to be able to continue. With Sergio Ramos a booking away from missing El Clasico, Real will be aware this could all go wrong quite quickly for them at the back.

Cristiano Ronaldo goes on a 40-yard run from halfway, skinning half the Sporting defence down the left wing but his cross is past everyone.
And now Pepe, who is only just returning from a hamstring injury, is getting treatment. It doesn't look great with El Clasico next weekend.

Sporting win a corner on a rare foray forward as Pepe, who has appeared to be in pain for the last few minutes, blocks a cross.
Real half-clear the corner and Moi Gomez smashes in a great 25-yard shot which Keylor Navas tips around the post.

But they are actually wearing a jersey made from marine plastic waste.

Real Madrid are flying now and Sergio Ramos has a go with a bicycle kick which a team-mate turns onto the post, but the offside flag goes up.

Cristiano Ronaldo
Cristiano Ronaldo is chasing a hat-trick and he has another 72 minutes to get one. Nacho whips in a cross from the right and the frontman turns it home with a stooping header.
Is there any way back for Sporting now?

Sporting are trying to play their way out from the back but play themselves into trouble - twice. But all is well that ends well and they get the ball clear.
Now Real keeper Keylor Navas goes for a little walkabout with the ball outside his box, but he's good enough to keep possession.

Moments after Sporting go close to an equaliser with a shot from the edge of the box, Cristiano Ronaldo heads over from close range for Real.

Real have a chance to make it 2-0 but too many cooks spoil the gazpacho and they try one pass too many, failing to get a shot in.

Cristiano Ronaldo
The goalkeeper goes the right way but Cristiano Ronaldo's penalty is right in the corner, excellent kick from the Portugal superstar. And this could be a long 85 minutes for the strugglers at the Bernabeu.
