Great save by Roberto as the former West Ham goalkeeper gets a big hand to deny Federico Valverde's shot. It was a particularly good save because Roberto saw it late in a crowded area but reacted quickly.

Oooh, not a bad chance for Valladolid as Shon Weissman, making his first start for the club, fires an effort at goal from Fabian Orellana's cross but it is straight at Thibaut Courtois.

Still not much in the way of clear cut chances in this one. Real Madrid have been dominating possession but are yet to test the visiting keeper.

Valladolid managed to draw with Real in the same fixture last season.

Earlier, Luis Suarez made his first start for Atletico Madrid but was unable to mark it with a goal as his side drew 0-0 with Huesca.

"We gave everything but in the end we didn't create the chances we wanted to," said Atletico midfielder Saul Niguez.

"We expect to be fighting for the La Liga title this season like everyone else, it's a pity it didn't work for us today, I think we deserved to win but we're playing against a tough team who didn't let us get the three points."

Real Madrid press from the off and a nice attacking move ends with Karim Benzema's shot from just inside the area being blocked.

We're up and running in Madrid!

So without Eden Hazard, here are the teams:

Real Madrid XI: Courtois, Ramos, Varane, Benzema, Modric, Marcelo, Casemiro, Valverde, Jovic, Odriozola, Isco.

Valladolid XI: Roberto, Hervias, Bruno, Sanchez, Carnero, Plano, Michel, Emeterio, Waldo, Orellana , Weissman.

Another blow for Eden Hazard as he looked to put his injury woes behind him.

The former Chelsea forward's time at Real Madrid has been blighted by injuries but he had hoped to make his first appearance of the season tonight, only for the club to confirm earlier today that he will out with a muscle injury in his leg.

Hazard made just 22 appearances for Real last season, scoring one goal. He described his debut season with the club as "the worst" of his career., external

Barcelona issued a statement of intent with a big 4-0 win at home to Villareal in their first La Liga game of the season.

Now, Real Madrid make their home bow for the new campaign, after collecting four points in their first two games - both on the road.

Will Zinedine Zidane's side throw down the gauntlet with a big performance and result of their own?
