What a miss! Benzema has the perfect opportunity to seal the game! He is left unmarked at the far post and has the simplest jobs of sticking it home, but he misses the connection and the ball bounces up and hits him on the arm! Free-kick to Inter!
82'
Have Inter anything left? They've already showed mental strength to come from two goals behind, but now they have to rally again.
80'
GOAL! Real Madrid 3 (Rodrygo) Inter 2 - Rodrygo scores what might just be the winner for Real! Zidane will be pleased with this, as the substitutes combine! Vinicius races down the left and picks out Rodrygo in the middle. His first touch sets him up for the shot and he smashes a beautiful strike into the top corner!

Inter go close, again! With Madrid throwing caution to the wind in search of a winner, they're leaving themselves open at the back, and here come Inter on the break! Martinez releases Perisic on the left side of the penalty area and he flashes his low shot just wide of the far right post.
75'
Inter chance! Real are clinging on for dear life here! Martinez finds space on the edge of the box and curls it agonisingly wide, it may have even kissed the outside of the post!
72'
Yellow card! Barella is cautioned.

The visitors have the momentum now and here they come on the attack again. Can they win it? Young delivers a cross but Mendy is there to deal with it at the near post for Madrid.
68'
GOAL! Real Madrid 2 Inter Milan 2 (Ivan Perisic): Inter are level! Real have let a two-goal lead slip! The home side's defence switches off as Brozovic lifts a ball over the top and Martinez reaches it, heading it into the path of Perisic. He uses his body to protect the ball and then slots it past Courtois!

Real chance! That's better! Vasquez can't get the ball out of his feet, so he toe-pokes a low shot at goal. It appears to be destined for the bottom left corner but it drifts agonisingly wide of Handanovic's post!
65'
It has been a flat second half performance from Real and Zidane is desperate to add some impetus into his side.
64'
Double Real sub: Rodrygo replaces Asensio, who has been anonymous in the second half, and Vinicius comes on for Hazard.
