    Dani Carvajal (61 mins)

    The breakthrough!

    Moments after Juanmi had a great chance to score at the other end, Real Madrid take the lead as they break up the pitch quickly, Vinícius Júnior doing well to keep the ball in play before a cross into the box by Karim Benzema is volleyed into the bottom corner beautifully by Dani Carvajal.

    I say that and Gareth Bale pops up with an absolutely superb cross, whipping the ball in and planting it on Karim Benzema's head and the forward draws a fine save out of Rui Silva.

    It wouldn't have counted anyway with Benzema having just gone offside, then the linesman's flag rules out a Benzema strike soon after for being offside again.

    Real Betis 0-0 Real Madrid

    Gareth Bale scored in his last game for Real Madrid but has been very quiet so far. The best attacking moments for the visitors have come from Karim Benzema and Vinícius Júnior.
