Toni Kroos curls an effort wide for Real, who have looked off the boil in the second half.

Drama in Italy. Juventus think they have scored when Mario Mandzukic heads in Paulo Dybala's beautifully curled cross.

But the Atalanta players protest as Stephan Lichtsteiner's arm rocks back and hits Alejandro Gomez in the jaw during the build-up to the goal.

The referee goes to his video assistant. Goal disallowed and Lichtsteiner shown a yellow card. Could have been red.

Big chance for Espanyol, Leo Baptistao speeds away from a defender and if he gets his ball across to Gerard Moreno right, his team-mate will have a free shot at goal. But Casemiro cuts it out. Crucial interception.

Now Keylor Navas comes running 30 yards out of his box to deny Baptistao, who was in space again.

The first real chance of the second half falls to Gonzalo Higuain. He links up well with Argentina team-mate Paulo Dybala but then blasts his shot over the bar.

Luka Modric pings an effort well over the crossbar from 25 yards out. It's over a year since his last goal.

Cristiano Ronaldo tries to play in Marco Asensio but the ball goes through to Espanyol keeper Pau Lopez.

Atalanta started where they left off in the first half and perhaps looked the most likely to score in the opening five minutes of this half, but Juventus are now enjoying plenty of the possession.

Paulo Dybala whips in a free-kick from midway in the Atalanta half, Giorgio Chiellini can't direct his header towards goal.

Sergio Garcia's cross is just past Marc Navarro, his fellow half-time substitute. He went down under pressure from Nacho but didn't really appeal for a penalty.

The visitors are on top right now.

Luka Modric's cross is inches over the head of Cristiano Ronaldo, who was offside anyway. Dreadfully timed run from the Portugal man.

Espanyol are almost level - Real Madrid allow Marc Navarro all the space and time in the world but the half-time substitute's shot is tipped around the post by Keylor Navas.

Sergio Sanchez heads the resulting corner over the bar.

The second half begins.

Espanyol break and Leo Baptistao gets the ball in the box, doesn't get a shot away and then his pass to Gerard Moreno is poor, and the Spaniard can't do anything with it. A waste.

Real start the second half as they started the first but Espanyol scramble the ball clear after a slick attack.

Second half is under way.

Espanyol, who weren't great in the first half, make two changes at half-time. Defender Marc Navarro replaces Marc Roca and Sergio Garcia is on for Jose Manuel Jurado.

"FC Barcelona's motto is more than a club, and never has that been more evident than this weekend, as the Nou Camp became a focal point for a city at the heart of the debate over Catalan independence."

An entertaining half, which Atalanta ended with a real spring in their step.

Juventus looked in complete control before that error by Gianluigi Buffon gifted the home side a way back into this game.

Real Madrid are ahead at the break. Should really be ahead by more - although were almost level.

If Espanyol are having an attack, it's going to be Gerard Moreno based on this game - and this is his closest effort yet. The former Villarreal player hits the post from eight yards out after a mistake from Casemiro.

That's a warning for Real, who have been dominant and could be 3-0 up.

Andy White: Real Madrid probably have to win every match this season to win the league. Can't see that happening but Champions League again I reckon.
