Welcome to our live coverage as Jose Mourinho and Cristiano Ronaldo go up against Didier Drogba and Fatih Terim at the Bernabeu.

Yilmaz almost pounces as Ramos fails to clear a loose ball in the Real box after Drogba makes a pest of himself, and the hosts have to be careful.

STAT: Galatasaray have now failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 13 away games in the Champions League.

Penalty? No! Khedira appears to handle a loose ball as he and Essien combine to clear inside the Real box, and Drogba leads the complaints.

It was a good deep delivery from Essien, but the visitors really should have dealt with it and cleared the danger.

GOAL! Essien whips over a deep ball which the visitors do not deal with, and Benzema eventually takes it down before driving a low finish beyond Muslera to double Real's lead early on! It's his fourth goal in seven matches. It's an emphatic finish!

It's all Real now as the hosts get the ball down once more and dictate the play.

Galatasaray win a corner courtesy of Lopez's flap, but it's wasted by Sneijder.

Drogba lets fly with a fierce strike from range, and Lopez is very unconvincing as he flaps at the ball, turning it wide of goal!

Sneijder is not managing to get on the ball nearly as much as he would like, and Real continue to boss the midfield.

Benzema holds the ball up very effectively once more as he brings Ronaldo and Ozil into play, but the visitors regroup just in time.

Essien has not been overly troubled playing at right back so far, and he has marauded forward on a few occasions.

The hosts are keeping the ball very comfortably in the Galatasaray half, and only a stray pass from Di Maria gifts possession back to the visitors.

STAT: Real Madrid have the best attacking record in the Champions League this season (19 goals in nine games).

Benzema is penalised for a foul on Kaya, and the visitors are slowly beginning to settle into the match.

Terim is suddenly very animated as he calls over the captain Inan, and he appears to be very concerned with the shape of his side.

Real have three against three on the counter-attack, but Ozil dallies slightly and ends up shooting straight at Muslera who makes a fairly comfortable save!

Altintop takes matters into his own hands as he lets fly from range, but it doesn't trouble Lopez.

Sneijder gets on the ball once more outwide down the left, but he cannot quite keep it in play as he looks to get past Essien.

Sneijder is afforded too much time on the ball deep inside the Real half, but he slices his effort wide of the near post!

Ozil takes a tumble on the edge of the Galatasaray box, and that was very staged as the referee shakes his head in disdainful fashion.

Ronaldo very nearly gets in once more as he combines with Benzema, but he ends up drifting wide of goal and being crowded out.
