FULL TIME: Real Madrid 2-0 Atletico Madrid
90+2'
This will see Real Madrid open up an eight-point lead at the top of La Liga and a 13-point lead over Atletico Madrid who will face some difficult questions after this result.
90+1'
There will be three minutes of stoppage time played at the end of the match.
90'
Vinicius comes off and gets a standing ovation from the home supporters inside the Santiago Bernabeu.
89'
While Vinicius was previously maligned for being something of a show pony, he is now one of the most ruthless wide forwards in the game. He has produced so many big moments this season.
88'
Vinicius has scored 10 goals in 17 appearances for Real Madrid in La Liga this season. The Brazilian has been a completely different player since the summer. What an improvement!
87'
Valverde comes on for Real Madrid who have surely done enough to win this now.

Asensio has played well for Real Madrid this season. Not so long ago, he was seen as a future ‘Galactico,’ but allowed his career to stagnate. He has delivered this season, though.

Ancelotti knows Alaba well having worked with him at Bayern Munich. He also knows how the Austrian can play in a number of different positions. He’s playing at CB this evening.
79'
Alaba has been one of the signings of the season in La Liga. Indeed, the Austrian is already a very important figure for Real Madrid after arriving from Bayern Munich as a free agent.

Courtois saves! Lemar's freekick bounces through the Real Madrid box despite three players attacking it, but Courtois keeps his eye on the ball and makes the diving save.

Simeone looks very frustrated on the touchline and you can understand why. Atletico Madrid have had good spells, but they failed to make the most of their opportunities.
73'
Herrera on for de Paul. Is that sign that Atleti are closing up?

Oblak has been one of the best goalkeepers in the sport over the last few years, but the Slovenian has been a shadow of his former self this season. Too many mistakes from him. Has looked shaky at times tonight.
