25'
Ronaldo leads a lightning Real break and clips the ball out wide for Benzema, but the Frenchman sees his attempted cross towards the penalty area well blocked. A good opening wasted by Real.
24'
Juanfran jinks to the right byline and crosses to the far post but Carvajal does well to flick his header away from the danger zone.
23'
A poor delivery from Modric lands tamely in the hands of Courtois.
22'
Di Maria rampages down the left and wins a free kick. Modric to take...
21'
The view back at the Bernabeu...
20'
Carvajal is worked into space on the right once again but this time his cross is deflected into the grateful arms of Courtois.
19'
Wait, there was an even earlier substitution than Bjorn Andersson!
18'
It's very cagey out there. We are still waiting for this derby to explode into life.
17'
Cracking stat.
16'
Handbags between Gabi and Coentrao sees the Atletico man lean in with his head. The referee has a word and play continues.
15'
STAT: Both Casillas and Courtois have kept five clean sheets in the Champions League this season, level with Petr Cech and David de Gea.
14'
Good goalkeeping by Casillas as he mops up just outside his own area after Koke had tried to release Adrian Lopez.
13'
Raul Garcia lets fly from 40 yards and it's way wide of target.
12'
The Eurosport view from the Estadio da Luz pressbox!
11'
STAT: Real Madrid have won 11 of their last 13 Champions League games (1 draw, 1 defeat). Their only defeat this season came at Dortmund in the quarter-finals (0-2).
10'
The horse placenta treatment didn't quite work the magic Atletico were hoping for.

BIG BLOW as Adrian Lopez replaces Diego Costa very early in the contest. The striker obviously wasn't fit enough after suffering that hamstring injury last weekend.
8'
Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid have met once before in European competition. It was in the semi-finals of the 1958/59 European Cup; the tie was level after two legs before Real Madrid won the deciding play-off. Real then won the final against Reims.
7'
A free kick to Atletico sees a header nodded back across goal but Real just about block out Costa and eventually earn a goal kick.
6'
Another marauding run from Carvajal sees him race into space and play a neat pass into Karim Benzema who flicks it through towards Bale, but the Welshman can't quite get there. Incisive stuff from Real.
5'
Dani Carvajal whips over a cross towards Ronaldo but the Portuguese is just eased out of it by Juanfran.
