    Atletico Madrid 2-1 Real Madrid

    Real Madrid think they've equalised but the flag goes up as soon as the ball hits the net!

    Jude Bellingham crosses for Lucas Vázquez who slides in at the back post, passing across goal to Eduardo Camaving who taps in to an empty net.

    Toni Kroos

    Game on and what a strike!

    Real Madrid break down the right and Federico Valverde's cross is headed out to the edge of the box where midfielder Toni Kroos is waiting.

    He chests the ball down, beats a defender with his left foot, and powers a thunderous strike with his right into the bottom corner.

    The Atletico lead is halved!

    Wow, it's a basketball game now.

    On the break Atleti race down the right hand side and Saul Niguez runs on to a cutback, firing a crisp, low shot that's saved brilliantly by the feet of Kepa.

    Real Madrid are hanging on!

    A third seems inevitable.

    Nahuel Molina beats the Real Madrid offside trap down the right but can't find goalscorer Alvaro Morata in the middle with his cutback.

    Lucas Vázquez reads the play really well and makes a crucial interception.

    Atletico Madrid 2-0 Real Madrid

    Rodrygo asks too much of Jude Bellingham who can't chase down an overhit ball over the top.

    Jude's not really been in this match so far.

    Atletico Madrid 2-0 Real Madrid

    Atleti's Samuel Lino is down, clutching his side after being bulldozed over by Eduardo Camavinga.

    Real Madrid can't afford to give cheap fouls away. Atletico will want this game to break up and feel disjointed.
