    There has been plenty of action across Europe already today with Borussia Dortmund's Champions League hopes suffering another blow with a home defeat against Eintracht Frankfurt. You can read our report from that one here.

    AC Milan lost ground in the Serie A title race too, with a 1-1 draw against Sampdoria. You can read more about that one here.

  4. YELLOW CARD

    Real Madrid 2-0 Eibar

    Alejandro Pozo picks up a booking for a late tackle on Sergio Arribas.

  5. INJURY TIME

    Real Madrid 2-0 Eibar

    There will be a minimum of three minutes added on.

  6. CLOSE!

    Real Madrid 2-0 Eibar

    Eibar are still giving this a good go, as Thibaut Courtois reacts well to keep out a low drive from Takashi Inui.

  7. Post update

    Real Madrid 2-0 Eibar

    Madrid lose the ball in a dangerous area and it breaks loose, but Kike Garcia's first-time effort flies comfortably over the bar.

  8. SUBSTITUTIONS

    Real Madrid 2-0 Eibar

    Final change for Madrid as Karim Benzema - who now has 18 league goals this season - is replaced by Mariano.

    Same for the visitors too, as Cote replaces Rafa Soares. He's having a heated debate with the manager as he walks off too.

  9. SUBSTITUTIONS

    Real Madrid 2-0 Eibar

    Another double change, this time from the visitors, as Pedro León and Pape Diop make way for Miguel Ángel Atienza and Kévin Rodrigues.

  10. GOAL - Real Madrid 2-0 Eibar

    Karim Benzema

    This one will stand though!

    Vinícius Júnior does really well down the left-hand side to get past the full back, and he stands up a cross for an unmarked Karim Benzema to power home with his head from eight yards.

    That should be the three points for the hosts.

  11. DISALLOWED GOAL

    Real Madrid 1-0 Eibar

    Real Madrid have had three goals disallowed for offside now.

    Casemiro slots home from the edge, but the goal is ruled out with Sergio Arribas a yard offside at the start of the move.

  12. SUBSTITUTIONS

    Real Madrid 1-0 Eibar

    Another double change for Real Madrid as Sergio Arribas and Vinícius Júnior replace Isco and Marcelo.

  13. Post update

    Real Madrid 1-0 Eibar

    It is absolutely horrible in Madrid. It is chucking it down and the wind is picking up, and it is affecting the quality of the game to be honest.

    In comparison, I've just had to close my blind because I couldn't see my TV because of the sun.

    Who said England is bad?

  14. GREAT SAVE!

    Real Madrid 1-0 Eibar

    Wow!

    It is absolutely lashing it down with rain in Madrid now, and Thibaut Courtois misjudges a back pass and the ball is rolling into the back of the net before he does brilliant to stretch out his right leg and just flick it around the post.

    That was superb reactions from Courtois, but what was he doing initially!?!

  15. SUBSTITUTIONS

    Real Madrid 1-0 Eibar

    A double change for Madrid.

    Luka Modric and goalscorer Marco Asensio are replaced by Toni Kroos and Rodrygo.

    There's also a change for the visitors as striker Sergi Enrich replaces Aleix Garcia.

  16. Post update

    Real Madrid 1-0 Eibar

    I imagine Zinedine Zidane wants to wrap this game up as soon as possible so that he can drag off key men like Karim Benzema and Luka Modric - who played 270 minutes for Croatia during the international break - ahead of Liverpool on Tuesday night.

    Another corner comes to nothing.

  17. Post update

    Real Madrid 1-0 Eibar

    Wasteful from Marco Asensio.

    He gets in a really good position down the right-hand side of the area, and he's got Karim Benzema, Isco and Marcelo waiting in the area but he overhits his cross and it drifts out for a throw-in.

  18. GREAT SAVE!

    Real Madrid 1-0 Eibar

    Good again from Madrid and Marco Asensio as he picks the ball up on the right, and drifts infield before curling towards goal with his left foot.

    Marko Dmitrovic does well to parry over the bar. He's made a number of good saves now.
