  • 38' Real Madrid CF have won 784 goals from 548 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 43' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Willy Kambwala suffering a number of foals already.

  • 70' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 75' A meaty challenge results in booking for Juan Foyth on 75.
  • 79' The whistle greets Santi Comesana as he departs to be replaced by Dani Parejo.
  • 82' A change in the Real Madrid CF ranks — Federico Valverde exits the field as Arda Guler enters on 82.

  • 89' Alex Baena, a Spain midfielder, has 1 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
