More blood coming from Sergio Ramos' eye after that earlier knock.

Some shouts for a penalty as Koke blasts the ball into Casemiro's arm. No need for VAR. Definitely not a pen.

Dani Carvajal loses the ball and about five seconds later when trying to win it back he brings down Koke and gets booked.

Did he win the ball? Yeah. Was it from behind a bit? Yeah. Real fans aren't happy. But then they never seem to be happy really.

Dani Carvajal plays a low cross into the box, Gareth Bale goes for it but Jose Gimenez puts him off.

Casemiro appears to be struggling a bit, Dani Ceballos has been warming up but I'm not sure if that's just precautionary.

Atleti midfielder Saul has another effort from outside the box, again saved by Thibaut Courtois, whose name I've probably mentioned more than anyone else so far.

Corner to Atletico now. It's pretty end to end, although not at great speed. Chance at one end, wait a minute, chance at the other end.

Thomas Lemar takes the corner but Diego Costa just heads it up into the air.

Real Madrid go close to the opener. Toni Kroos plays a free-kick from deep - finds Gareth Bale at the far post but his controlled volley goes all the way across goal and wide.

Saul wipes Gareth Bale out near the side of the pitch - the Real fans bay for blood but do not get it.

A replay shows Thibaut Courtois actually saved it with his head.

HUGE save by Thibaut Courtois keeps Real Madrid level. Antoine Griezmann runs in behind Real's defence from the halfway line. He tries to curl it past the Belgian keeper - who is equal to his effort.

Sergio Ramos gets patched up, has to come off the pitch because of regulations (health and safety innit) but is back on.

No way he's coming out of a big game so far.

Corner to Real Madrid, the first for either side today. Sergio Ramos heads the ball straight to Jan Oblak - and he's down with blood on his head after a clash with Saul while going for the ball.

Toni Kroos, 25 yards out, considers shooting but decides he had better pass it instead. And seconds later Atletico have the ball. Should have shot.

Real are starting to piece together their first real spell of possession. Gareth Bale gets in behind Atleti's defence briefly but Diego Godin holds him off and Bale's cross lands in the hands of Jan Oblak.

Atletico striker Antoine Griezmann has a go at scoring a Puskas 2019 contender as he chests the ball up in the air and sends an acrobatic volley past the far post.

Atletico Madrid have the first shot as Saul lines one up from distance but it's punched away by Thibaut Courtois, who played over 150 for Atletico during a three-year loan spell - or three one-year loan spells if you prefer.

Jonnie: tough one to call tonight, think bale is the key! love a Spanish derby

John McEnerney: Atletico Madrid are a mirror image of their coach when he was a player - no-nonsense, do the simple things right, know your job, a tad dirty and fight to the death. Real Madrid looked all over the shop midweek. Time to man up for Los Merengues & no better test! There’ll be a few goals & cards

Real have the first attack but Luka Modric's pass runs beyond Marco Asensio. Gareth Bale has already used a nice flick to get around Filipe Luis.

Ayoade Oluwasanmi: I thought Gareth Bale said that Real Madrid were now more of a team since Cristiano Ronaldo left. I don't know about that but they're obviously worse
