    FT: Real Madrid 0-0 Villarreal!!! Full-time here at the Bernabeu in what was a rather poor game, to be honest. Both teams had one shot in the first half and RM should have had a pen and in the second half, after an open first 10-15 minutes, the game died down again. 0-0 is very fair and it was far from a classic. Thanks for joining us and see you again soon!

Card

Yellow card

a Villarreal
  • 55'
    Coquelin has his name taken after a cynical shirt pull on Asensio.
  • 54'
    Danjuma!!!! Foyth lays the ball off to Danjuma in the D and Courtois saves!
  • 51'
    Benzema heads wide of the goal from Casemiro's delivery, but he's well off.
  • 51'
    Militao!!! Asensio's free-kick is headed wide by the former Porto man.
  • 50'
    Vinicius is caught by Foyth, the ref gives the free-kick, but Foyth is surprisingly not booked. The ref obviously thinks protests are worse than bad tackles....
  • 49'
    Asensio's ball into the box looking for Benzema is headed away by a Villarreal man.
  • 46'
    RM get us going again!
  • 45'
    RM HT sub: Camavinga on for Rodrygo.
  • 45'
    HT: RM 0-0 Villarreal!! No score at the break and it's been a very even game. 0-0 is fair, but Nacho is still complaining to the ref. RM were denied a stonewall penalty after Albiol fouled Nacho, but the officials somehow said it wasn't a pen. Danjuma has come closest for Villarreal and Benzema for RM. Back shortly!
  • 43'
    RM win a corner after Torres heads the ball out.
  • 42'
    Rodrygo goes down in the box now, but no penalty there.
Card

Yellow card

a Real Madrid
  • 40'
    Vinicius is booked for arguing after a shirt pull on Albiol! It looks a foul and despite him protesting a distance away from the ref, his protest was always going to get him booked.
  • 38'
    Danjuma has a go and the ball goes over the bar.
  • 36'
    I think Albiol made little effort to play the ball, personally...
  • 35'
    RM claim a penalty after Nacho goes down in the box, but Gil Manzano says no!! I think Albiol charges into him there and I think that's a penalty. VAR should have buzzed in there, for me. RM are unlucky.
  • 31'
    Double opportunity for the Yellow Submarine!!! Good play sees Pino pass to Pedraza, his effort is saved and then on the rebound, Nacho saves Coquelin's strike! It was offside though.

    Little to report here in the last few minutes, to be honest.
