Real Madrid have not scored a first-half goal in any of their last eight matches.

They won three of the previous seven.

German Bundesliga

Eintracht Frankfurt v Bayern Munich is also goalless at the break.

An entertaining first half comes to an end but neither side have broken through.

Another good save from Luca Zidane, who makes himself big and star-shaped to keep out Karim Benzema's header. Maybe Benzema was offside.

Two minutes added on.

Luka Modric nutmegs a defender and goes down. Free-kick to Real.

Rayo Vallecano win a corner and have two shots blocked as Real can't get the ball away.

Rayo's Oscar Valentin is booked for stopping a Karim Benzema break.

The goal is disallowed for offside, not either of the things I wondered.

Casemiro was offside when the cross came in. So once VAR confirmed that they didn't even need to check the handball or foul on Alejandro Catena.

Rayo Vallecano 0-1 Real Madrid

VAR are having a look and...

Oh that was close. Dani Carvajal passes into the box, Karim Benzema takes a first touch, spins and shoots. It hits a defender and goes just wide for a corner.

Another Rayo chance. Ferland Mendy gives the ball away to Alvaro Garcia, who cuts into the box and lashes over the bar.

The flag goes up so none of this would have counted...

Karim Benzema runs onto a ball over the top, holds off a defender and chips Luca Zidane but Alejandro Catena clears off the line.

A pretty open couple of minutes with both sides losing theball on several occasions.

Another Luca Zidane save but this time it's a simple stop from Karim Benzema's snap-shot.

Rayo Vallecano are back on the attack and Sergi Guardiola heads wide.

Brilliant save by Luca Zidane. Marco Asensio plays a one-two with Dani Carvajal and curls a shot towards the far corner which a diving Zidane gets fingertips to.

Italian Serie A

In-form Dusan Vlahovic has just put Juventus 2-1 ahead against Empoli in first-half injury time.

Karim Benzema is offside as he runs onto a ball over the top. He's barely been involved so far.

Ending a run of five consecutive Rayo Vallecano shots, Luka Modric has a crack from distance and it hits a defender before going out for Real's first corner.

The corner comes to nothing.

It's all Rayo now. Sergi Guardiola gets a good header onto a Ivan Balliu cross. Thibaut Courtois can't catch and just recovers before Alvaro Garcia can score the rebound.
