Wuanito Daniel: is it too soon to say Hazard's back to his best? Cause that flick was amazing
Nacho
Game over?
Luka Modric plays a short corner and gets it back before whipping in a cross. Nacho meets it at the near post and smashed a volley home from four yards out.
Alaves 0-1 Real Madrid
David Alaba whips a nice cross into Gareth Bale but it's headed behind.
That was really lovely skill by Eden Hazard for Karim Benzema's goal. He's looking quite fit today.
Alaves 0-1 Real Madrid
Karim Benzema scores the first goal of a La Liga campaign for Real Madrid for the third time, after 2014-15 and 2019-20.

Karim Benzema
Lovely.

Here we go. Gols por favor.
Alaves 0-0 Real Madrid
The players are back out for the second half.
PSG 4-2 Strasbourg
On the night where Lionel Messi was introduced to Paris St-Germain fans, Mauricio Pochettino's side ensured they put on a show.
It looked like it was one way traffic after PSG went 3-0 up through goals from Mauro Icardi, Kylian Mbappe and Draxler, but the visitors fought back in the second half.
Kevin Gameiro and Ludovic Ajorque both headed past Keylor Navas to give us a real game on our hands, but Pablo Sarabia put the game to bed four minutes from time with a tap-in from Kylian Mbappe's cross.
Alaves 0-0 Real Madrid
It was a fairly even first half. Six shots to eight. One shot on target each. It was also a very forgettable half of football.
Alaves 0-0 Real Madrid
Boos as the half-time whistle goes.
The boos are because an Alaves player is down on the ground after being caught by a stray Eden Hazard elbow.
Accidental was the ref's decision, you'd imagine. Well he'd have been sent off otherwise.
PSG 4-2 Strasbourg
The flag stays down and Waris Majeed is through on goal.
He smashes it into the side netting and that's a big chance wasted with three minutes of normal time remaining.
Alaves 0-0 Real Madrid
It's maybe 40 yards out but David Alaba still shoots. It's far too high - miles over.
Alaves 0-0 Real Madrid
Real Madrid have another free-kick in shooting range - well the edge of shooting range - as Tomas Pina brings down Federico Valverde.
Pablo Sarabia
That's more like it.
Another goal for PSG, another Kylian Mbappe assist.
This time he puts it on a plate for Pablo Sarabia to tap in and that looks like the end of any Strasbourg comeback.
Alaves 0-0 Real Madrid
Another Alaves chance, this time Luis Rioja shoots wide from just outside the box. They've had the better chances I'd say.
