Finished
FT: Real Madrid 3-2 Inter!!! All over in Madrid and that's a huge three points for Zidane's men. Benzema and Ramos put RM 2-0 up, but Lautaro pulled one back for Conte's men before the break. Perisic made it 2-2 after 68 and both he and Lautaro had chances to win it for Inter, who looked the more dangerous in the second 45, but Rodrygo came on and punished Inter's poor finishing.
End of match

RM take a terrible corner, but Inter don't have time to attack and Real Madrid win!
93'
Handanovic! Benzema chests down a ball inside the box and his shot from close range is saved for a corner.
Young looks for Achraf at the back post, but he can't reach it. It looks Inter will run out of time. This will be a huge win for RM and a blow for Inter's last 16 hopes.

Three added minutes.
89'
Achraf's ball in is headed out by RM to Nainggolan and then the former Roma man loses the ball.

45'
HT: Real Madrid 2-1 Inter Milan! It's been an exciting first period at the Di Stefano and Real lead. The hosts have been better, but Inter also came close a few times early on. Benzema put RM ahead after 25 minutes following a Hakimi error and Ramos made it two when he headed home a corner, but a Lautaro Martinez goal minutes later after a spectacular Barella backheel put Inter back to within one. All results are still possible here. Back for more in a bit!
Ramos heads in for RM! The corner comes in to Ramos at the near post and he jumps to send the ball into the goal off the far post.

RM win a corner.
31'
Inter move forward again, but it comes to nothing.
30'
Free-kick to Inter in their own half.
26'
That was an absolute gift by Achraf. Don't know what he was thinking. The Inter man wanted a foul for a push by Mendy, but there didn't look much in it.
Benzema puts RM ahead! What was Achraf doing? He inexplicably passes the ball back from midfield towards the GK, it's terribly underhit so Handanovic has to charge out of his area, but Benzema gets there first. He goes around the keeper and then taps into an empty net.
23'
Valverde!! A ball in is headed by Benzema back towards the penalty spot, Valverde hits the ball into the ground and the bounce takes it over the goal.
23'
Achraf attacks down the far side and goes down in the penalty area, but nothing is given.

Asensio's ball in takes a deflection, but Handanovic manages to claim it.
19'
Mendy and Courtois have collided with each other as Achraf went for the ball, but both are fine.
16'
Varane is fouled in his own half by Vidal and it's a free-kick to the hosts.
14'
Vidal!!!! Martinez goes down RM's right, he passes for Vidal in the middle and the Chilean's thiunderbolt ripples the side netting! Vazquez's touchline is being targeted.
13'
Vazquez passes to Kroos outside the box and his effort all along the ground is easy for the keeper.
12'
Was going to say RM have started very well, but Inter have come very close to hitting the front.
11'
Lautaro! Inter in again and the Argentine's shot is well saved by Courtois! Open game.

Another corner for the hosts.

Start of match
PRVW
The players are out here!
PRVW
Lukaku misses the game for Inter due to a muscle injury.
PRVW
The Germans are top with 5pts (including the 3 with the 0-6 scoreline), Shakhtar are 2nd with 4pts, but these two sides have played three games while Inter and RM have a game in hand. The Italians are on 2 points while the La Liga outfit are on just one point.
PRVW
This is a huge game for both sides in group B. Shakhtar are being thrashed 0-6 at home to Gladbach at the moment. The section is incredibly open.
PRVW
Inter make five alterations from the side which salvaged a 2-2 draw with Parma on Saturday. Rannocchia, Kolarov, Gagliardini, Eriksen and Darmian drop out of the XI. Bastoni, D'Ambrosio, Vidal, Brozovic and Young start.
PRVW
Varane, Mendy and Kroos come in for Militao, Marcelo and Modric. They are the three RM changes from the 4-1 victory over Huesca at the weekend. That means Hazard once again starts and Vinicius is on the bench.
PRVW
11 degrees and cloudy in the Spanish capital this evening.

Clement Turpin is the referee while Francois Letexier is the VAR. The officials are from France.
