Espanyol have their first real chance of the game but Gerard Moreno hits a weak slow shot which Keylor Navas - first time I've mentioned him in 42 minutes of this game - saves.

Real Madrid defender Nacho pulls back Leo Baptistao on the halfway line and goes into the book.

Cristiano Ronaldo has another chance, also squandered. A Casemiro ball over the top, the Portugal legend is in space - but shoots right at Pau Lopez.

Espanyol have been pretty dire so far. The ball is clipped over the top to Cristiano Ronaldo, who takes a touch and then blazes over the bar.

Real Madrid are looking in good shape for a first home win of the season in the league.

Espanyol's Leo Baptistao is down injured after being caught in the head with the elbow of team-mate Sergio Sanchez. He gets some treatment and then comes back on.

Real Madrid's best chance since the 23rd second. Cristiano Ronaldo crosses from the left and Sergio Ramos' header is brilliantly tipped over the bar by Pau Lopez.

Normal service is resumed as Real Madrid attack again and Luka Modric shoots wide from 22 yards following Isco's pass.

Gonzalo Higuain should have scored. A loopy cross over to the edge of the box, Mario Mandzukic with a smart chest down to set up an unmarked Higuain who can only manage a weak left-footed shot straight into the hands of Etrit Berisha in the Atalanta goal.

Espanyol finally break into a dangerous area but Gerard Moreno opts not to shoot and looks around for a team-mate before finally playing a pass to nobody. Chance wasted.

A good cross from teenage debutant Achraf Hakimi is cleared before one of Real's attackers can turn it home.

Isco's clipped pass over the Espanyol back line is just too far in front of Cristiano Ronaldo. Not sure Espanyol have had an attack in the opening 17 minutes.

Some quick Real Madrid passing lands to Cristiano Ronaldo but the ball gets stuck under his feet and Espanyol gain possession.

Zero La Liga goals for Ronaldo this season, having missed a lot of games through suspension. Lionel Messi has 11.

Atalanta are in their home blue and white stripes with Juventus in yellow. A quiet start after 10 minutes with no real chances to shout about. Juve with some slick passing play but the home side are holding their own.

The game has calmed down after that start. Real Madrid couldn't have maintained that. They are still on top though.

It's a chance a minute. Literally. Isco dances past a defender and crosses from the left, Sergio Ramos hooks an effort which rolls to Pau Lopez.

Four minutes in and Real Madrid's third chance. Pau Lopez punches a corner to Marco Asesio, whose shot on the bounce from just outside the box goes wide.
