Live Commentary
Time:90'- Atlético Madrid
- Real Madrid
- 93 And that's it! Atletico's woeful record goes on against their local rivals. Thanks for joining me this evening, stay tuned to Eurosport.com for all the reaction shortly.
- 90 Three minutes have been added.
- 88 Filipe Luis latches on to a neat flick from Adrian to collect the bouncing ball in the box, but his volleyed attempt at goal crashes into the side-netting. It was a decent attempt but perhaps he should have went across the 'keeper.
- 84 The introduction of Modric and Alonso has seen Real begin to dominate possession.
- 81 The home fans are getting very frustrated as Real begin to count the minutes down to another Madrid derby triumph.
74 A change for either side as Suarez makes way for Cristian Rodriguez while Luka Modric comes on for Angel di Maria.
73 Diego Costa drives into the area but attempts to trick the referee into thinking he was fouled by diving and is booked for simulation.- 72 The home side make their first change as they look for an equaliser. Adrian replaces Raul Garcia.
- 70 Morata breaks forward and is invited to shoot as the Atletico defence back off but his effort his weak and straight at Courtois.
- 69 Michael Essien is the latest player to be withdrawn and Raphael Varane is his replacement at right-back.
- 66 Xabi Alonso is introduced for Kaka as Mourinho looks to sure things up in midfield.
- 65 Real Madrid had barely posed a threat to Courtois in the second half before the goal.
63 GOAL! Completely against the run of play, Real take the lead! Benzema picks the ball up in midfield and plays a perfectly weighted ball to di Maria before the winger takes one touch to compose himself and fire low past Courtois.- 60 Raul Garcia is harshly booked for a hand ball by the official. Replays of the penalty incident suggest the Columbian striker went down a bit too easily.
- 60 The rain is beginning to fall quite heavily in the Spanish capital as Atletico have big appeals for a penalty waved away after Falcao goes down under the challenge of Pepe.
- 59 Raúl García is the latest to try his luck and had Diego Lopez scrambling but his low shot just goes past the far post.
- 56 It's been all Atletico in the first ten minutes of this half and they should re-take the lead but Gabi fluffs his lines. Lovely build-up play carves open the Real defence but Gabi rushes his shot with only Diego Lopez to beat.
- 53 Atletico have targeted the Real full-backs this evening and have caused problems so far. They're just starting to apply some pressure now.
- 49 Filipe Luis creates a bit of space for himself before whipping in a dangerous cross for Raul Garcia but his header is saved by Lopez.
- 47 Real have started the second period as they ended the first and are looking comfortable in possession. However, when they get into the final third they seem to lack ideas and that killer edge.
46 We're back underway with no changes on either side.
46 Don't forget to post your comments on Twitter at @RyanBailey37- 46 And that's half-time! It's been a pretty even first period after Falcao gave the home side an early lead before Juanfran's own goal drew Real level.
- 45 Just a minute added on
- 41 Morata picks up a yellow for fouling Diego Costa as the home side looked to break.
- 41 Real break as di Maria evades the challenges of two defenders before slipping in Benzema but the French striker is denied brilliantly by Courtois.
- 40 Real Madrid have stepped up the intensity in the last ten minutes or so and are looking a lot more composed on the ball now.
- 36 Decent spell for Mourinho's side but Atletico deal with successive corners easily.
- 35 Apart from the goal, Real have yet to create anything and are lacking a killer edge going forward in the absence of Ronaldo, Ozil and Higuain.
- 33 Pepe fails to clear his lines, allowing Diego Costa a snap shot from just outside the area but he draggs it well wide.
- 32 That was a great opportunity for the hosts to re-take the lead but Godin's flick on evaded everyone and Real survived.
- 30 Diego Costa goes down far too easily in the box under the challenge of Carvalho before Godin's header from Koke's free-kick goes wide. He should have done better there.
- 29 The visitors are just started to get a foot hold in midfield with Kaka and Khedira seeing plenty of the ball but are yet to do anything with it.
- 27 Just a reminder- you can get in touch on Twitter with your comments, views and predictions! @RyanBailey37
- 26 It's been a pretty stop-start thus far with both sides finding it difficult to keep hold of possession for any period of time.
- 24 We're not going to finish with twenty-two players on the pitch at this rate! Koke becomes the second Atletico player to be cautioned for pulling Kaka's jersey.
- 23 It's getting a bit heated as Pepe concedes another free-kick in a dangerous position but Koke wastes it with a poot delivery. The referee then has to speak to Jose Mourinho on the touchline.
- 20 Gabi crosses from the left but after rising highest, Falcao can't direct his header on target.
- 20 It's been a pretty lively start with plenty of fouls and four bookings to add to the two goals.
- 19 Pepe is the latest to be shown a yellow for a clumsy tackle on Koke.
- 17 Sami Khedira goes into the referee's note book for a reckless challenge on Gabi with his studs showing.
- 16 That goal has just taken the steam out of the home side and indeed fans. It came out of nothing and after such a bright start, it's a real sucker punch for Atletico.
- 14 Replays suggest it was actually a Juanfran own goal. Di Maria's set-piece bounced off the chest of the defender before nestling in the corner.
- 12 Filipe Luis was shown a yellow card in the build-up to the equaliser.
- 12 GOAL! They have yet to get out of the blocks but somehow Real are back on level terms. Angel di Maria's in-swinging free kick evades everyone and sneaks in at the far post.
- 9 The game has settled down a bit after a frantic opening few minutes.
- 7 Real Madrid have yet to get going and the hosts have taken full advantage. Koke tries to double their lead but his shot is weak and goes wide.
- 6 Very lively start from the home side as Raul Albiol goes into the book for fouling Diego Costa on the right wing.
- 4 The Real Madrid goalkeeper failed to deal with a pretty straight forward free-kick before Godin chipped it back across goal for the striker to head home from a couple of yards.
- 3 GOAL! Atletico get off to the perfect start as Falcao scores his 32nd goal of the season after some poor goalkeeping from Diego Lopez.
- 2 Pretty quiet start as both sides look to find their feet in the opening exchanges.
1 The visitors get us underway, playing from right to left in their traditional all white kit.- 19:00 Both sides have emerged from the dressing rooms to a warm welcome. Jose Mourinho has made nine changes from his side's defeat in Dortmund, only Diego Lopez and captain Pepe remain.
- 18:50 No matter the result in the Madrid derby, Barcelona cannot be crowned champions tonight as they have been held to a 2-2 draw by Athletic Bilbao.
- 18:41 TEAM NEWS: Atletico Madrid: Courtois, Godín, Kasmirski, Juanfran, Miranda, Mario Suárez, Koke, Raúl García, Gabi, Falcao, Diego Costa /// Real Madrid: Diego López, Nacho, Pepe, Carvalho, Albiol, Essien, Khedira, Kaka, Benzema, Di Maria, Morata.
- 18:36 Under twenty-five minutes until kick-off and we'll have team news very shortly. If you want to get in touch with your predictions or comments, then tweet me @RyanBailey37
- 18:32 Atletico have a chance to end almost 14 years of derby pain and coach Diego Simeone has challenged his side to seize their opportunity; "You have to go back many years before you find a time when we were competing for league positions as well as for the game"
- 18:31 History favours Los Blancos in this tie as they have won the last nine Madrid derbies. Mourinho's men came out on top in the reverse fixture at the Bernabeu in December winning 2-0, with Cristiano Ronaldo and Mesut Ozil on target.
- 18:26 Madrid know that defeat to their rivals could dethrone them, handing the La Liga title to runaway leaders Barcelona, who are currently in action against Athletic Bilbao.
- 18:23 Atletico are on a five-match unbeaten run in La Liga, winning three of those. Meanwhile, Madrid have won just one of their last four away games in all competitions.
- 18:23 Real Madrid may have given up on defending their La Liga title but there is more than just bragging rights at stake in the Spanish capital, as a win for Atletico would move them level on points with their second-placed opponents.
- 18:12 Hello and welcome to Eurosport.com’s LIVE coverage of this evening’s Madrid derby from the Vicente Calderón. Kick-off is at 19.00 BST.
