    Earlier, I made mention of Luis Suarez's comments about how players are judged in this game.

    The Uruguayan's stock is pretty high at the minute. The 34-year-old former Liverpool forward has scored 17 of his side's 48 league goals.

    That's twice as many as Atletico's second leading scorer Marcos Llorente.

    Casemiro brings Thomas Lemar down.

    Is it a free-kick? Could be dangerous if Atletico are allowed to take it.

    But they are not. The whistle blows for half-time.

    Filipe gets away with it.

    The ball clearly hits his arm as he jumped among a bunch of bodies to attempt to head clear.

    You wouldn't have been surprised if it was deemed a penalty, but nothing is given this time.

    Luis Suarez does a marvellous job getting this effort on target.

    A deep cross to the far post finds the striker, whose volley is easily dealt with by Thibaut Courtois.

    Atletico's Yannick Carrasco is making a nuisance of himself.

    He tries to dart past Lucas Vazquez, but muscles up a little too much and gives away a free kick.

    Atletico Madrid 1-0 Real Madrid

    Atletico have really done well to control this game so far.

    It's the sort of composed performance that I'm sure fans would relish.

    But only one has been allowed in today because of the pandemic...

    Zinedine Zidane's Real Madrid actually came into the derby unbeaten in six games.

    It took a last-minute equaliser from Vinicius Junior against Real Sociedad on Monday to ensure that was the case.

    Can they keep the unbeaten run going?
