90+4'
FULL TIME: Elche 1-1 Real Madrid
Real Madrid miss the chance to draw level with Atletico Madrid at the top of La Liga. Zidane waited too long to make changes from the bench and was made to pay for it. Real Madrid finish 2020 second in La Liga. Elche were very good in the second half and deserved to take a point.
90+3'
Last kick of the game! Verdu gets a freekick up and over the Real Madrid wall, but Courtois makes the diving save to prevent the strike from finding the back of the net!
90+2'
Is there a late, late winner left in this match? Real Madrid are the ones pressing hard for it. Ramos is being used as an emergency centre forward. Only seconds left on the clock!
90+1'
There will be three minutes of stoppage time played at the end of the match.
90'
A big chance for Benzema! Modric's cross into the middle was a brilliant one, Benzema was free, but he couldn't get the flick on the ball which would have sent it into the back of the net!
89'
Carrillo also comes on for the home side as they attempt to shore things up.

It’s been a strange year for Real Madrid in the sense that they have played the majority of their home games away from the Santiago Bernabeu as the historic stadium undergoes development work.

PICTURE: A frustrating evening for Real Madrid
85'
This is, of course, Real Madrid’s final game of 2020 and they will reflect on a generally successful year, in football terms. Their form has been patchy, but July saw them crowned La Liga winners. They'll want to finish with a win, though.
84'
Valverde is also introduced off the bench by Zidane. He'll bring more dynamism.

Benzema has been in good form of late, but it’s surely a worry for Zidane that the Frenchman will pick up an injury in the second half of the season. Real Madrid are utterly reliant on him in attack.

What is Zidane's thinking here? His team are currently being held 1-1 away to a promoted side with 15 minutes left on the clock and he has yet to make a single substitution? Strange.

Now Kroos enters the referee's book for a foul in the centre of the pitch.
