Thanks for joining our live coverage! Don't forget that there's even more Spanish football coming your way right now, as
FULL TIME! It's all over at the Bernabeu, and Real end up comfortable 2-0 winners. Jose Mourinho's unbeaten run at home now exceeds nine years, which is quite phenomenal.
GOAL! DISALLOWED! Ozil runs so easily straight across Levante's defence, before drawing another fine save from Munua! The keeper parries the ball to Ronaldo, whose deflected shot is turned into the net by Adebayor! The linesman rightly flags Ronaldo offside, though, and the goal won't stand
Montero has the ball in an advanced position for Levante, but once again the visiting strikers just don't seem to have the ability to beat Madrid's defenders. They've resolutely failed to test Adan tonight, and thoroughly deserve to leave the Bernabeu empty-handed
Gago lifts a lovely ball over the top for Adebayor to chase, but the big striker's touch lets him down and Munua gathers
Madrid pass the ball around their own half, as this game edges unerringly closer to full time
Stuani picks up the ball deep in Madrid's half, but his touch is so ponderous that he's soon swamped by white shirts
Marcello almost slips a low ball into the box for Ronaldo, but it's just cut out. Levante hoof the ball clear, and Diarra is penalised for another sloppy challenge in the middle. He must be on his last warning by now, the former Portsmouth midfielder
Real sub: Benzema off, Gago on
Levante playing some nice football in the middle of the park again, but Cerra's eventuall ball in from the right wing is disappointingly high and wide of Adan's back post
The corner is lifted to the back stick... and headed way over the bar by Sergio Ramos!
The free kick is taken short to Diarra, whose shot on goal is deflected wide for a corner
Ramos almost picks out Ozil with a lovely low ball along the right flank, but it's cut out. Ballesteros is then penalised for handball as the ball strikes his shoulder. Incredibly harsh decision and, to add insult to injury, the referee books him for it.
The second corner is curled into the middle... and headed clear.
Taken short to Ronaldo, who SHOOTS FROM THE RIGHT! TIPPED AROUND MUNUA'S LEFT POST!
Adebayor exchanges passes with Ozil on the edge of the box, before winning a corner with a deflected shot
Levante sub: Xavi Torres off, Lois on
Ronaldo receives the ball in the box as Real counter, and SHOOTS! SAVED BY MUNUA AGAIN! Another fine save by the Levante keeper, who has kept his side in this
Ballesteros shows an alarming turn of pace up top for Levante, but Carvalho comes across to nick the ball away for Madrid
A fearsome double change from Jose Mourinho then, bringing on a second striker. It'll be interesting to see how Benzema and Adebayor play together - one usually being favoured ahead of the other for Madrid's lone centre-forward position
