Atletico have their first attack since the Middle Ages but Angel Correa's header is straight at Sergio Ramos. A couple of half-claims for a handball but nope. They have a corner which is cleared.

Real are starting to create more chances now and a low cross to Marco Asensio is cut out. Nacho's cross is now deflected all over the place and Atleti just can't get out.

Marco Asensio has a run down the right, but he looks in pain as he fails to speed away from his defenders and his cross is blocked.

That looked like me when I run for my last bus after a BBC Sport night out.

No La Liga goals for Diego Costa in 16 games now - he has scored in Europe this season, including twice against Real in the Super Cup.

Oooof, down Dani Carvajal goes after being caught by Koke. Yellow card.

Koke is one of those players who almost feels like a youngster and a veteran at the same time.

Atletico Madrid have totally lost the grip on this game they had. Real are - I don't want to say dominating, but edging it now.

And Diego Simeone makes a tactical change, versatile midfielder Thomas Partey is on for Diego Costa. Whistles from the crowd.

Real Madrid's best chance. Toni Kroos rolls a wonderful pass into Marco Asensio in space. Jan Oblak sprints off his line and makes himself big to stop Asensio's shot. As good as Thibaut Courtois' two saves in the first half.

Real work the ball from left to right, it ends up with Luka Modric, who shoots from 30 yards but it's a few feet wide.

Toni Kroos' free-kick, headed away. Real fans do the Icelandic clap thing every time they have a free now, quite annoying.

The last time Real Madrid failed to score in successive La Liga matches was in September 2011, losing 1-0 at Levante and drawing 0-0 at Racing Santander, under Jose Mourinho.

I wonder whatever happened to Mourinho.

The first thing Angel Correa does is get a hand in the face from Sergio Ramos - who gets booked.

I did say Thomas Lemar has been anonymous, and Diego Simeone obviously agrees. He's been replaced by Angel Correa.

Casemiro, since when does he take free-kicks?, smashes this one over. Odd.

Atletico winger Thomas Lemar, who has been fairly anonymous, is booked for fouling Dani Ceballos.

Karim Benzema, I almost forgot he was playing, has the ball down the left but Atletico get it clear.

Now he goes to ground in the box looking for a penalty. No dice. Jose Gimenez touched him, that's all.

Been a few minutes since anybody did anything good. This isn't what I signed up for.

Toni Kroos' free-kick is headed away by Saul.

Good defending by Jose Gimenez to stop Marco Asensio's run towards goal... or so it looks but the referee has given a free-kick to Real for a slightly raised boot.
