FULL TIME: Real Madrid 0-0 Real Betis
Time is running out for Real Madrid to find a winner. Hazard has made a difference since coming on. Makes you think Zidane should have introduced the Belgian sooner!
Mandi has been excellent at the back for Real Betis this evening. The central defender has repelled everything Real Madrid has thrown at him. Still some work to be done, though!
There will be three minutes of stoppage time played at the end of the match.
Is there one last chance left in this match for either side to claim all three points? Real Madrid are the ones pressing higher up the pitch, but Betis still have plenty attackers on!
Why didn't he shoot!? Hazard burst forward with the ball at his feet, got to the edge of the box, but instead of taking on the shot himself he passes to Vinicius who slips!
Scramble in the box! A corner kick causes mayhem in the Real Betis box, Bravo makes a save after a shot is prodded towards him by someone, but the whistle is blown for... something.
... and Moron is also on to give the away side some cutting edge!

Vinicius takes on the shot! That wasn't the best decision from the Brazilian winger as he takes the shot from about 25 yards out, off balance. Unsurprisingly, it flies high and wide.
Blanco has also been introduced by Zidane. He was impressive in the win over Cadiz!

Anyway, back to the actual match - there is a sense that Real Betis aren't content with just a point here. They are pressing forward, but that is giving Real Madrid space on the break.
So while many saw the proposal of a closed-off European Super League as a sign of these clubs’ greed, it was also a route to survival for Spain’s big three who have spent beyond their means.
Recent financial results showed Real Madrid currently have around £1 billion worth of debt at the moment. Much of that is attributed to the redevelopment of the Santiago Bernabeu.
The dynamic is slightly different for the Spanish clubs with regards to the European Super League than the English clubs. Atleti, Barcelona and Real Madrid are in financial trouble!
... and Marcelo has also been introduced. This looks like a change to a back three!
