Hello and welcome to our LIVE coverage of Real Madrid’s La Liga match with relegation strugglers Eibar. Victory for Zinedine Zidane’s side would take them second, above Barcelona and three points behind leaders Atletico Madrid. The visitors go into the game second from bottom, knowing an unlikely win would move them out of danger. Kick-off is at 15:15 BST.

All over in Madrid, and it's a routine win for Real. Goals from Asensio and Benzema, one in each half, takes the champions three points behind La Liga pacesetters Atletico Madrid. It would have been a bonus to get anything from this game for Eibar, who are two points from safety. Real focus now on a Champions League quarter-final with Liverpool - before El Clasico next weekend. Thanks for joining us!

Three minutes added on.

Good defending from Nacho, who heads behind a cross with Kike looming. Eibar once agian waste the corner, but this has been the best spell of the game for the strugglers.

Decent effort from Inui who thumps a shot at Courtois, but it's well blocked by the Belgian. The Japan international's done well since coming on at the break.

This is some run by Benzema, who's nowhere near done at 33.

Six goals in eight La Liga matches for Benzema, nine in seven in all competitions. Some form, that.

Another change for Eibar...

Benzema's game is over, as he's saved for the Champions League with Mariano Diaz replacing him.

Rodrygo tries to get in on the act now, taking a pass from the right but he mishits his shot and it's easily gathered by Dmitrovic.

Eibar fans were surely not expecting anything from this game, but they have not really laid a glove on Real. Bigger games to come...

Time to start panicking, Liverpool fans? Real look good here...

Benzema's in the mood now. The Frenchman tries another shot from the edge of the area which is gathered by Dmitrovic. Worth a go in this weather.

GOOOOOOOOAL! He's been pretty quiet, but when Benzema's presented with an opportunity like this he rarely misses. Vinicius hangs up a ball on the left and the striker heads down pass Dmitrovic to double Real's lead.

DISALLOWED GOAL! A hat-trick of strikes chalked off for Real, Arribas is offside from the first part of an attack, which eventually falls to Casemiro on the edge of the box who unleashes a shot into the back of the net - but we're still at 1-0.

The conditions are pretty filthy in the Spanish capital and Vinicius will no doubt blame that for a poor touch as he attempts to get another attack going for Real.

Marcelo gets a chance to shelter from the rain too, as Vinicius Jr takes his place.

Isco's off to be replaced by Sergio Arribas.

Eibar have had plenty of corners but they've really struggled to make the most of them. It's bucketing it down in Madrid...

Another change for Eibar too, as they search for an equaliser.

Toni Kroos is on for Modric.
