  • 90+4'
    FT: Real Madrid 1-1 Atletico Madrid. Julian Alvarez's Panenka penalty was the decider in the first half of the Madrid derby. The spot-kick was awarded after Tchouameni's challenge on Lino was reviewed by VAR with ten minutes to go before the break. But 'Los Blancos' quickly restored the stalemate as Mbappe found the equaliser in the 50th minute. The two sides fought until the death for the goal that would put them in front but in the end, the spoils were shared at the Bernabeu.
  • 90'
    THREE MINUTES OF ADDED TIME!!
  • 90'
    Mbappe almost with a goal at the death!! The striker was alone in front of the goal but Bellingham's pass was just slightly too deep and Oblak was able to come out and block the shot. Shivers for Atletico Madrid there!

  • 74'
    Oblak fundamental once again for Atletico!!! The set-piece went over Bellingham and Gimenez's head and was about to nestle itself into the bottom corner for the goalie somehow got down to keep it out just before it crossed the line.
  • 72'
    Another big save from Oblak, this time on VInicius! The Brazilian had made his way on the left-hand side of the box before firing towards goal but the goalkeeper gets his hands out to but the ball out for a corner.
  • 71'
    Clear chance for Rodrygo but Oblak saves! Great build-up play from 'Los Blancos' with the ball rolling from Vinicius on the left flank to Mbappe, then Ceballos before reaching Rodrygo but the Atletico goalkeeper is going to need a better effort to be beaten.

  • 60'
    Golden chance for Giuliano in front of goal! De Paul with a lobbed pass for Alvarez, who then takes a touch to serve the ball to Giuliano, but the pass was just inches too long. The forward has to stretch and is only able to direct a weak effort towards Courtois from close range.
  • 60'
    The game has incredible tempo as both teams look for the goal that will put them in front.
  • 58'

    GOALLLLLLLLLLLL MBAPPE LEVELS FOR REAL MADRID!! The goal has Rodrygo's name all over it. He made his way past three Atletico players on the right flank before squaring a low drive for Bellingham. The Englishman's shot was blocked but the ball arrived at the feet of Mbappe, who had the simple task of directing it in the back of the net. First Madrid derby goal for the French superstar. 1-1!

    Mbappe battled to make his way into the box on the right flank but with two Atletico players onto him, the Frenchman was successfully stopped.

    PENALTY CHECK GOING ON! VAR is reviewing Tchouameni's foul on Lino from Galan's cross. The Frenchman appears to stomp on the Atletico player as the ball approaches in the box.

    Threatening cross from Galan that comes to Giuliano after a touch from Lino but he is not able to fire a shot with white shirts around him. Real are not able to clear the ball, which comes to Barrios, but his attempt goes over the bar.
  • 28'
    Two clever backheels from Rodrygo and then Vazquez to complete a one-two on the left flank before the ball comes to Ceballos outside the penalty area. The Spanish midfielder went for a first-time shot from range but he fails to make good impact with the ball.

    Real Madrid had a corner but Atletico deal with it successfully and also win a free-kick in defence for Mbappe's foul on Gimenez.

    First booking of the match goes to Dani Ceballos for stomping on Barrios earlier.
  • 24'
    Real Madrid looked to be on the counter with Mbappe on the right flank but Barrios gets an important block to hold up the Frenchman. Ball still with 'Los Blancos' though.
  • 22'
    Foul from Ceballos, who runs into Giuliano.
  • 20'
    Vinicius' strike is not far off! Barrio gives the ball away in defence, leaving Vinicius with a bit of space to fire at Oblak. The Atletico player's error could've been costly, but he is fortunate as Vinicius is not able to capitalise and squeezes the ball wide.
  • 18'
    Rodrygo tries an ambitious effort from long range after being served by Brahim Diaz but the ball goes way above the crossbar and out for a goal kick.
  • 14'
    First shot comes for the visitors! Lino gets the ball from midfield and looms closer to the box before firing a shot at Courtois. His attempt does not threat the Belgian shot-stopper as the ball goes wide.
  • 13'
    Foul from De Paul, who catches Ceballos in the middle of the park.
  • 11'
    Still the hosts with the ball as Diego Simeone's men are, as always, happy to sit back and hit their opponents on the counter.
  • 8'
    Rodrygo tries to storm from the right flank but Lino is onto him and there is no more space for the Brazilian to run into. Atletico avoid a corner and get a goal kick.
  • 8'
    Real Madrid now holding possession confidently and rolling the ball around in peace.
  • 5'
    Vazquez slips and loses the ball in a dangerous position, allowing Lino to charge forward. Unfortunately for the hosts, his pass to Griezmann on the left-hand side of the box is not precise and a big chance for Atletico is wasted.
  • 3'
    Atletico get a free kick as the referee blows the whistle following Bellingham's challenge on Llorente. It was a high boot from the Englishman, who is lucky to get away with no booking.
  • 2'
    Atletico immediately on the front foot with Giuliano but a great intervention from Asencio to put the ball out for a throw-in.

    This will be Mbappe's first Madrid derby after joining 'Los Blancos' in the summer from PSG. The French superstar has been unable to taste victory against his side's main rivals Barcelona, however, could he make up for it with a win against Atletico Madrid?

  • PRVW
    With that all settled, let's warm things up with some possible lineups!!
  • PRVW
    On the other hand, Atletico are in much better shape than their city rivals. Clement Lenglet is set to start ahead of Robin Le Normand, who is suspended for tonight. Thomas Lemar and Rodrigo Riquelme are the only other doubts from Diego Simeone's side.
  • PRVW
    The Real Madrid manager could opt for an extra midfielder in the middle of the park to supply balance against Atletico, who are known for their superb counter-attacks. As a result, Jude Bellingham may be forced into a more restricted role, operating closer to the midfield pivot. Elsewhere, Eduardo Camavinga should be good to feature after returning to the team from injury.
  • PRVW
    Antonio Rudiger, David Alaba, and Eder Militao's absences suggest that Aurelien Tchouameni may have to partner with Raul Asencio at centre-back. Lucas Vazquez is set to continue to fill in for Dani Carvajal down the right after recovering from a muscle tear, with Ferland Mendy and Fran Garcia fighting for a starting place on the opposite flank.
  • PRVW
    Ancelotti has spoken about Madrid's issues in defence ahead of the clash, which could force him to wheel out a back four he never would've considered using for a fixture of this magnitude.
  • PRVW
    Such pre-match talk is far from uncommon when it comes to a derby between these two giants, however, everything is put in the background when it's time to head into the pitch.
  • PRVW
    The latest was posted yesterday night, with the club showing 'solidarity' with the referees for the 'pressure' put on by 'Los Blancos' after the defeat to Espanyol.
  • PRVW
    The image was followed by this one - posted the next day.
  • PRVW
    Despite Ancelotti's words, Atletico have aimed digs at their local rivals via ironic posts on their social media platforms. Following their win over Girona in the Copa del Rey quarter-finals, the club posted an image to mock Real Madrid.
  • PRVW
    Here's what the Italian manager said: "Before such an important match, I wouldn't like to touch on this subject. Tebas can rest easy because nobody has lost their mind here. We are not pressuring the referees, we are only trying to improve a system that, from what I hear, nobody is happy with. The others are not happy because they think it is a system that favours Real Madrid, but when Madrid wants to change the system, the others want to reject it."
  • PRVW
    La Liga president Javier Tebas addressed the situation by saying that Real Madrid "have lost their minds", with Ancelotti responding to the statement in yesterday's press conference.
  • PRVW
    Real Madrid were left furious after Romero was only booked for a cynical foul on Mbappe before going on to net the winner. Carlo Ancelotti had expressed his frustration post-match, however, things were taken to the next level when the club filed a formal complaint asking the Spanish Football Federation for an "immediate submission of VAR audio" over two officiating decisions in the contest.
  • PRVW
    Instead of pitch talk, the preview for the derby has been obscured by discussions on the controversy over the refereeing in last week's 1-0 loss to Espanyol and the subsequent complaint submitted by Real Madrid.
  • PRVW
    We've got a massive massive derby waiting for us tonight as only one point separates 'Los Blancos' from 'Los Colchoneros'. Real Madrid are current La Liga leaders with 49 points from 22 matches but Atletico (48) have the chance to reclaim top spot with a win away from home.
