A win tonight would see them return to the top of the table. We have a long way to go here though. Real Madrid take the lead... And it's Rodrygo with an exquisite finish. Very unsavoury scenes here as Atleti fans fire objects at Rodrygo and Vinicius as they celebrate the goal. There have also been reports of racist chants against the Brazilian forwards.

RODRYGO opens the scoring with a wonderful finish! Kondogbia tries from distance! It's an absolute rocket from the guts of 40 yards but it wizzes just wide of Courtois' left-hand post.
"It's interesting now that we see that kind of quality that he's got in terms of bossing people around, being really driven is a real quality. "Whereas kind of eight or seven years ago that was seen as, 'Ooo you've got to make sure he's humble, you've got to make sure he slows himself down, you can't talk to people like that. ' "It's like, 'Well he can, because he's got to be able to survive in the first-team dressing room' and listen there were times when he overstepped the mark. "Of course there was, he was a young boy but what that did do, when we fostered and kind of enhanced that quality that he had, it allowed him at 16 to go in the dressing room and survive and then obviously take that on.
Carrasco goes close for Atleti. Griezmann is also dropping very deep to link the play, with Carrasco playing high and closer to Joao Felix. Kondogbia, Koke and De Paul are winning the midfield battle. It's a brilliant move by the home side. De Paul picks out Carrasco, who is running through the middle. The Belgian works an angle for himself before hitting the side netting.

Pretty wasteful. Ferland Mendy is next to go into the book for a tackle on Marcos Llorente. It looks like he wins the ball but the referee has decided to even things up! Rodrygo goalHe's flying in place of Benzema. Rodrygo started centrally in place of Benzema but is also getting some joy in the half-spaces with his speed. Atlético have their hands full. Reinildo picks up the first booking of the game for a foul on Rodrygo. Rodrygo races through on goal but Reinildo catches the flying Brazilian and blocks his shot as he pulls the trigger for a brace.
Impressive start for Atlético. Atleti have had the better start. Griezmann this time, but his long cross goes out for another goalkick. Los Blancos are camped in their own half. Atlético work it nicely around the edge of the Madrid box. It eventually goes out for a goalkick and cue all the boos for Thibaut Courtois. They don't like him around these parts...
GRIEZMANN! The Frenchman hits it superbly from 20 yards. Courtois, arguably the best in the world, pushes it out for a corner! Witsel and Kondogbia both head the incoming cross. It's over the bar! Atlético had their fair share of possession and chances but it counts for nothing as Madrid grab the first goal.
