    Real Madrid 2-0 Eintracht Frankfurt

    Real are playing exhibition stuff. Vinicius Junior and Karim Benzema attempt a one-two that doesn't quite come off after Federico Valverde tries to pick out Benzema in the box.

    Frankfurt are starting to look a little ragged.

    Ryan: I completely forgot Modric was once a Spurs player. Bale too, but it’s not hard to analyse whose career blossomed the most!

    And that all came from an assist by the troublesome Vinicius Junior.

    He's had a great game. Quality.

    Karim Benzema

    Bennnnnnnnnnnnzemaaaaaaa!

    Is that game over?

    Karim Benzema with a first time vicious shot which goes right through Kevin Trapp before nestling in the back of the net.

    Should Trapp have done better? Probably but Real are well on their way.

    For the first time in this half Frankfurt have a clear sight of Real's goal.

    Great play by Ansgar Knauff to create space for himself but his shot is kept out by Thibaut Courtois.

    Defending has been desperate at times for Frankfurt but even so they're fighting, its only a 1-0 lead.

    That's a lovely attempt and Casemiro cannot believe it hasn't gone in.

    The Brazil midfielder bends it from just outside the box and the keeper is beaten but it crashes against the the woodwork.

    So close.

    Now then. Mario Gotze is coming on. What can Frankfurt's star player do?

    Real Madrid have been relentless in terms of possession, not allowing Frankfurt any kind of control for too long.

    Frustrating for Frankfurt. A shooting chance on the edge of the box but Eder Militao makes a vital block.

    There's movement on the German bench. Changes are coming.

    It's all Real but Kevin Trapp hasn't had a lot to do.

    But hang on. I've spoken too soon.

    A free-flowing move ends with Vinicius Junior testing the Frankfurt keeper with a deflected attempt inside the box.

    That's a good stop by Trapp in the end.

    Sloppy from Frankfurt who give away possession inviting pressure from the European champions. Vinicius Junior attempts a fancy flick but doesn't get it right.

    World Cup winner Mario Gotze spent half-time warming up on the pitch. He could yet prove a useful weapon for Frankfurt if and when he is sent on.

    Scrappy start to the new half. Vinicius Junior tries to spark an attack but gets his pass all wrong. Frankfurt are on the backfoot at this moment.

    Will we see new Real Madrid signing Antonio Rudiger in the second half?

    Real start the defence of their La Liga title on Sunday at Almeria and Carlo Ancelotti will not want to risk any injuries.

    Real Madrid have to deal with people questioning their age and if they can keep up, but they churn out performances that are absolutely exemplarily every time.
