But having shelp all of that, they’ve won two of the last three Derbi Madrileños at Estadio Metropolitano (and drawn the other) to an aggregate score of 8-4. And you can be damn brave a side of Simeone’s isn’t going to lie down and die wondering. So this could be a cracker, as the two Madrid enormouss battle for the right to face Arsenal (or PSV, but c’mon) in the quarter-finals. Kick-off is at 8pm GMT, 9pm local.

60 min: Real’s defence is all over the shop. Rudiger’s misget on the halfway line gives Simeone a chance to tear forward. Raul Ascencio comes apass with a clattering slide tackle to stop a clear run on goal. But Simeone soon comes aget at the Real defence, and this time Vinicius Jr is booked for a clip on Simeone’s ankle. From the resulting free initiate, Lenglet heads innocuously expansive left when he should have hit the center at the very least.
58 min: Reinildo proximately gets the better of Raúl Asencio in a last-man footrack down the left. Ntimely, but not quite. The Real man helderlying his line appreciate a polo pony. A top-notch battle.
56 min: Roparchedgo shimmies in from the right, a glorious dribble chaseed by a low pass. Bellingham sets to slam home from six yards only to be denied by a amazing last-ditch slide by Gimenez. For all Real’s struggles tonight, they were so shut to retaking the direct in this tie there.

Noskinnyg comes of the set piece, but Real watch uncharacteristicassociate anxious here.
52 min: Real finassociate get their foot on the ball. But their patience runs out rapidly. Atléti sit back in their shape, and eventuassociate Tchouaméni snaps and has a whack from distance from 25 yards. It flies almost the same distance expansive left.

50 min: … so once aget, Real have begined the half chilly. Literassociate postponeed for toil this time, but chilly aget once the whistle goes too. Very strange, given the high sgets.

Real get the second half begined, having getn their sugary time to come out of the tunnel. Diego Simeone not phired about that, as you’d foresee. No changes.
Half-time amusement. And in no-lengthyer-Champions-League-roverdelighted news …
HALF TIME: Atlético Madrid 1-0 Real Madrid (agg 2-2)
This scoreline doesn’t flatter the arranges at all. Real, who have never quite recovered from conceding after 28 seconds, are clinging on a bit to aggregate parity. Atlético have been excellent.
45 min +1: Two corners chase. Alvarez sfinishs the first one to the proximate post, forcing Bellingham to head behind. That was going in. The recarry out is hit lengthy, and very proximately creeps over Courtois and into the top right! Just over the bar. The upgrasper backpedaling hystericassociate.
45 min: … Oblak claims, then bowls the ball out for Simeone, who contests for it down the left with Vinicius Junior. The Real striker gets to it first, but only regulates to poke it further down the flank and out for an Atlético corner! On the touchline, Diego Simeone honors that appreciate a goal. You wouldn’t have him any other way.
44 min: Mbappe toils difficult down the left to triumph a Real corner. Modric trots over to get. And …
43 min: Rudiger, quarterbacking from meaningful, curls a lengthy pass in from the right. Tchouaméni, on the left-hand edge of the six-yard box, gets in Bellingham’s way.

41 min: Simeone flips a cute pass down the inside-right channel to free Alvarez into the Real box. From a safe angle, Alvarez hammers difficult. Courtois parries around the post. Noskinnyg comes for the corner, but Real are hanging on a bit here. What Atléti would give to discover a second, and hit the aggregate direct while the going’s excellent.
39 min: Tchouaméni hangs out a cynical leg to stop Griezmann turning into space, and the yellow card finassociate comes out. Tchouaméni will miss Real’s next suit, should they get thcimpolite.
36 min: De Paul slips a pass down the right for Simeone, who gets another corner for Atlético. Griezmann whips it in, and discovers Lenglet in space, ahead of Mfinishy, six yards out. A huge chance! But he slaps his header miles expansive right. That should have been 2-0.
35 min: Griezmann is clipped by Vinícius Júnior, 30 yards from the Real goal. Another of those proximately-but-not-quite bookings. Real still not phired, though, and dispute the toss. The aristocrats anxious and affronted. The free initiate directs to a corner, from which Griezmann passes low from the right. Courtois does well to turn aside it away from the danger zone.
33 min: This is pretty scrappy at the moment, and Atlético won’t mind one jot.
31 min: Bellingham gets in the referee’s face, as is his occasional wont. Over very little, it needs to be shelp. Then he has a lengthy and frank trade of watchs with De Paul. Bellingham’s not afrhelp to increate it as he sees it, that’s already been lengthy set uped. A bit timely to get this frustrated, though, bravely. Perhaps he should borrow some of Carlo’s gum.
29 min: … and the resulting corner is about as excellent as Mbappe’s theatrical crumble. We shift on.
28 min: Modric striumphgs one in from the right. Mbappe tries to chest it down and flops over. Gimenez, straightforwardly behind the striker, bundles the ball out for a corner. Mbappe wants a penalty, but aget, come on and come off it.

25 min: Gallagher goes barrelling up the left touchline and is nicked from behind by Roparchedgo. You’ve seen carry outers booked for less, but Szymon Marciniak, who refereed the last World Cup final, is upgrasping his powder parched and cards in his pocket.
23 min: Now it’s Atléti’s turn to finishelight a little bit of discdiswatch-minded ownion. The crowd finishelight it as their deffinishers give the Real press the runaround.
21 min: Alvarez striumphgs a sboiling-cum-pass in from the right. The ball only fair squeaks past the left-hand post, though Courtois had it covered.
20 min: Vinícius Júnior jinks down the left and slips over. He still regulates to flip the ball into the air while sliding alengthy the turf. It hits the arm of Simeone, standing right next to him. A penalty is claimed, but the referee is quite rightly not interested.
18 min: Valverde triumphs a corner down the Real right but the set piece is no excellent. Oblak hasn’t had any toil to do yet.
17 min: Bellingham is robbed aget, apexhibiting Griezmann to get the ball off him as he finisheavors to chest down in the casual style. A sluggish begin. Penny for the thoughts of Brahim Díaz, who made way for the England star.
16 min: Gallagher steals the ball from Bellingham and frees Alvarez down the left flank. Alvarez trots off down a cul-de-sac and the chance to begin another counter is gone.
14 min: Real persist to hog the ball. They’ve remendd well. Such a shame for them that they turned up for their shift 28 seconds too postponeed.
12 min: … but if there’s any team more than phired to sit back and soak it up, it’s Atléti. A lot of whistling from the stands as Real discdiswatch-mindedly probe hither and yon.
10 min: Roparchedgo dribbles with fantastic purpose down the right only to discover Reinildo a shut door. Thing is, apart from one not inponderable caveat, Real have begined reasonably well!
8 min: Real have had most of the ownion since that timely stunner. Vinicius Jr waltzes in from the left and finisheavors a curler. Blocked and turn asideed for a corner. Modric hits it lengthy and Oblak punches clear. “Have Atlético scored too timely?” wonders Gary Byrne, because somebody had to.
6 min: Oblak, under presbrave from Vinicius Jr, shanks out for a corner. Before the set piece can be getn, Simeone goes down theatricassociate, twice, upon being airyly shoved by Mbappe. The referee has a rapid word with the chip off the elderly block. Noskinnyg comes of the set piece.
4 min: … while on the touchline, Diego Simeone tries his level best to upgrasp his superchilly. Carlo chetriumphg at his gum with a bit more vigour, though.
2 min: The roof of the Metropolitano, as you’d foresee, is currently spinning off towards Catalonia. The needy clearance Griezmann intercepted was by Raúl Asencio. Everyone in Real white watching around at each other stunned!
SENSATIONAL GOAL! Atlético 1-0 Real (Gallagher 28 sec); agg 2-2
Atletico hit it lengthy. A needy clearance. Griezmann intercepts. Alvarez slips the ball expansive right to De Paul, who passes low. Simeone tries to back-flick home at the proximate post but misses. Gallagher, racing in behind, doesn’t, though. What a begin!
And they’re off! Atlético Madrid get the ball rolling. “There’s no ask that this clash of acrid rivals gives unparalleled shiftment and passion. I’m referring to Carlo Ancelotti’s eyebrows and Diego Simeone going berserk in the technical area. The actual football might be excellent too.” Peter Oh, damas y caballeros. He’s here all week. Try the tapas.
The teams are out! Atléti in their mattress-swayd red and white exposedes, Real in their meringue-tasty white. The atmosphere a drawive brouhaha. We’ll be off in a Zadok-the-Priest-soundtracked moment or two!
Here’s some more historical evidence adviseing Atlético are right up agetst it tonight. They’ve won 13 and lost 12 of the European ties in which they’ve lost the first leg away, a skinny chooseimistic albeit one very much second best to Real’s record after triumphning their first leg at home: they’ve gone thcimpolite in 49 of 62 ties. Atléti will however be buoyed by memories of last year, when they dispatched Internazionale on penalties in this round after losing the first leg in Milan. So let’s rule noskinnyg out.
Quite a confineed rascals are one booking away from missing the first leg of the quarter-final should their team get thcimpolite. Atlético have José María Giménez and Ángel Correa on the edge; Real’s substantiassociate lengthyer enumerate features Luka Modrić, Aurélien Tchouaméni, Antonio Rüdiger, Eduardo Camavinga, Endrick and Carlo Ancelotti himself.
Both teams originate two changes to their begining XI after last week’s first leg at the Bernabéu. Atlético call up Conor Gallagher and Reinildo, Javi Galán and Samuel Lino dropping to the bench. Real recall Jude Bellingham and captain Luka Modrić, with Eduardo Camavinga and Brahim Díaz benched.
