    What a strike from Ronaldo. You want your big players to stand up in these situations and there is no one bigger than Ronaldo. 

    The power - the technique - from THE greatest footballer on this earth at this moment in time - absolutely sensational.

    Real Madrid 2-0 Atletico Madrid

    He remains the man for the job! He has almost single-handedly swept aside Bayern Munich and now Atletico Madrid in the business end of the Champions League. It's another big goal for Cristiano Ronaldo. Marcelo finds Karim Benzema on the edge of the area, he flicks it on and Filipe Luis tries to nick it.

    He doesn't get there, Ronaldo rolls him and then thumps home from 18 yards. Deadly.

    The first glimpse inside Marco Asensio's skillset, as he beats a man and puts in the sort of early cross which Garth loves, but Karim Benzema can't reach it.

    Atletico are camped inside their own half. They just cannot get out.

    When they get forward, there is no outlet because all the players are in defensive positions. 

    This is the Champions League semi-final - Griezmann hasn't played in as many matches of this ilk as Ronaldo and you can tell. Griezmann has just not shown up.

    Easy.....

    Atletico just need more pace and confidence going forward. That's the difference between them and the likes of Real and Barca etc.

    Real Madrid 1-0 Atletico Madrid

    It's all gone a bit niggly, with Martin Atkinson finding himself in the thick of it. Luka Modric takes a thwack across the shins, a clear foul. Atletico not happy. 

    Zinedine Zidane, a man who projects calm, until he flips and headbutts your or stamps on you, has his hands in his suit pockets at the moment.

    Angel Correa hasn't scored in 21 games. Now's the time to hit the dealer for one more.

    Diego Simeone may well be playing stick or twist himself. End the night at 1-1 and it's a belter of an evening. Go 2-0 down and you're cursing your ambition.

    Atleti have also made a change - their final one - as Yannick Carrasco is replaced by Angel Correa. 

  10. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 67 mins

    Real Madrid 1-0 Atletico Madrid

    Real youngster Marco Asensio, excellent off the bench in both legs v Bayern, gets 25 minutes to run at this Atletico side.

    Perhaps sensibly, it's Isco who comes off.

    Lines are open now so get in touch - we want to know your thoughts on tonight's match but so much more too.

    Are Atletico the sort of club Tottenham should aspire to become?

    Will Hull be able to keep Marco Silva? If he does leave where will he go?

    And David Moyes - yes or no?

    Plenty of card waving going on. First, Sergio Ramos wants a yellow for Antoine Griezmann after what I thought was a good tackle from the Frenchman, and then Isco - already booked - is late as Koke clears his lines.

    The Atleti bench, with some justification, want a red card. Martin Atkinson, to centre stage.

    Real Madrid 1-0 Atletico Madrid

    Atletico have had 10% more possession and have a 10% better passing accuracy in the second half. They need every marginal gain they can get.

    That's the first bit of pressure Atletico have made all game. That is better - they need to keep on pressing higher up the field.

    Not so far tonight Jamie....

    Personally I think that if Griezmann does really want to be at the levels of Ronaldo and Messi, which he nearly is, then he just needs to compose himself and actually give Atletico that difference in the big games. He just needs to start to relax and start playing the football that we all know he's capable of. I think that there is a way back for the visitors (if their no. 7 can perform and they stay solid and the back) and that's the key to getting that vital away goal that Diego's side need.

    Real sub Nacho shows that he has plenty of pace as he covers across to stop Yannick Carrasco from breaking clear down the left. That was a promising attack for Atleti, with Antoine Griezmann then whipping in a fine cross from the left. He needs to get into the game.

    Koke then shoots well wide. 

  17. SUBSTITUTIONS - Torres onpublished at 57 mins

    Real Madrid 1-0 Atletico Madrid

    This is pretty bold, pretty early in the tie. Atletico send on Fernando Torres and Nicolas Gaitan for Kevin Gameiro and Saul.

    Torres has a handy record against Real.

    Just not working for the visitors as an attacking threat. They've had one decent sight of goal in getting on for an hour.

    Real have had 12 attempts.

    Atletico Madrid have not been able to sustain any amount of possession because every time they get the ball, they give sloppy passes away or Real Madrid press them in midfield.

    I love watching Zidane and Simeone on the touchline. 

    Simeone is more like Antonio Conte waving his arms around but Zidane is much more of a calming influence on his team.
