Atletico Madrid 1-0 Real Madrid (Agg: 2-2; Pen: 2-4): Los Blancos triumph on penalties after Julian Alvarez controversy

And Real have made not even a half-chance.

It's cleared, but when Llorente feeds it back out wide, Griezmann diddles Bellingham with a smart first touch into the space, crosses low, and Courtois has to shovel away.

He stretches for a ball he's not getting, fouls Griezmann, and Atleti hump a free-kick forward, winning a corner.

But immediately, Llorente comes over, plays the ball into the Madrid man, and wins a goalkick.

I know his ability to score and create makes him good as a no 10, but to me what makes him unique is his ability to play between the boxes. The way things are now, we're waiting for a moment; the way things could be, he might controlling things.

This one goes short and Rodrygo picks it up on the edge, but can only drag a tame shot that's easily collected by Oblak.

But so far they've lacked any kind of threat from them.

And Alvarez picks it up, sauntering unchallenged towards the box and, though he's running away from goal down its left-hand side, he swivels into a rising shot that a diving Courtois palms away.

Bellingham and Vinicius at the heart of things. But they're well outside the box, Atleti crowd them out, and Gallagher takes the ball away down the line, tempting Rodrygo into a foul.

They're keeping Real at arm's length, Bellingham and Modric run out of it so far.

And the ball squirts into Simeone's hand. Real want a penalty, but the ref is, quite rightly, brooking no such thing.

Might well be the footballer I'd least like to ruck. And what a player.

And Atleti bring it away. They are very comfortable, while Real are being Real: waiting for someone good to do something good.

De Paul eventually shooting into Rudiger; Courtois collects, to a soundtrack of whistles, the home fans unhappy that their former keeper now plays for their arch rivals. Meantime, Valverde wins a corner down the right...

And Gallagher works hard in support, eventually winning a throw near halfway.

He could be preparing for a Conference League blockbuster against FC Copenhagen.

A pass driven flat from right flank to left. Vinicius brings down for Bellingham, but the low block forces him backwards.

Madrid probe, spreading from one wing to the other looking for holes in the blanket – it's like a training exercise, but against a pack of wild dogs.

Arsenal lead PSV 1-0 on the night, 8-1 on aggregate. Follow along here.

Takes the ball back, crosses to the far post where no one is, and Oblak inexplicably opts to punch. But Atleti then get the ball clear, and I wonder if they'd take penalties right now.
