16'
Chance for Benzema! Good play from Vazquez sets up the chance for the Frenchman, but his header from the winger's cross is saved by Cuellar in the Leganes goal. That was an opportunity.
15'
Was that a penalty? Benzema looked like he might have been tripped in the box by Siovas with his back to goal, but there was no protest at all from the Real Madrid forward.
14'
Ramos freekick! That was a wasted chance for the Real Madrid captain. Ramos lined up a freekick 20 yards out, but his strike hits the bottom of the wall. He was striding the low slider under the wall.
13'
Ceballos on target! That's the first time that Cuellar has been called into action. Vinicius burst to the byline, his cut back falls at the feet of Ceballos. However, his effort is straight at the keeper.
12'
A picture of the Santiago Bernabeu tonight.
11'
VAR decision? The officials might have to use the technology here. Ramos floors Bustinza when he's up from the back for a corner. Although there's been no stoppage so far.
10'
Nacho puts it behind! The cross from the left side looking for Braithwaite in the middle was a good one, but Nacho was on hand to concede the corner at the near post. Corner comes to nothing.
9'
Casemiro has kept his place in the Real Madrid team for this game this evening despite playing poorly against Real Sociedad at the weekend. Llorente is out injured, so Solari had no choice.
8'
Indeed, there's a lot of focus on Isco this evening. He started for Real Madrid in the last round of the Copa del Rey, but Solari has left him out of the starting lineup here. Interesting.
7'
6'
It's been quite a subdued start to the match. Both Real Madrid and Leganes are feeling their way into things. Still waiting for the first goalscoring opportunity to be created.
5'
As already mentioned, Leganes knocked Real Madrid out of the Copa del Rey last season. So they should feel confident coming to the Santiago Bernabeu to face a struggling side.
4'
Diaz is on the bench for Real Madrid this evening. The young midfielder only joined on Monday, making the move from Manchester City. Will he make his debut for his new team tonight?
3'

This should be an interesting night at the Santiago Bernabeu. Real Madrid need a win after their surprise home defeat to Real Sociedad at the weekend. The pressure is on Solari.

Okay, here we go. About to get started in the Spanish capital. Kick off is just seconds away.
20:28
Of course, this is something of a Madrid derby. It might not be THE Madrid derby, but there is an element of rivalry.
20:27
The two teams are in the tunnel at the Santiago Bernabeu. Such a strange tunnel they have there, with the cage in between the two sides.

Not long until kick off at the Santiago Bernabeu. What sort of match will we get in the Spanish capital tonight?
