    Brilliant start but i'd be amazed if Real don't score and then Atletico need 5

    Class from Benzema beating 3 defenders before the goal

    2-1 and the tie is probably now decided. Personally i've never liked the away goals rule at least not in 90 mins. If Athletico can get it to 4-1 in 90 mins they should have least have the chance to win it in extra time and then perhaps the away goals rule should kick in.

    Never seen Torres act like that. Athletico players seem possessed.

    Surely there's going to be a red card or 2 here

    Terrible defending from Savic against Benzema

    Hoping Atletico come out in second half same way they did in the first.

    I have massive respect for anyone who grows up in Madrid and chooses to support Atletico. I went to a game in 1995 and their fans were mental.

    The only team I can't stand outside of England is Real Madrid. Out of jealousy of course but them being so god damn successful really does piss me off.

    It's a classic north/south, rich/poor city rivalry.

    I'm currently about 80 miles from Madrid and expected Spanish T.V. to show the match live.
    Instead they are showing a couple of blokes commentating the match from a studio inside the stadium.

    They should scrap away goal rule.

    Currently in Granada (visiting the Alhambra) don't think my telly can pick up Beln.
    Was in Madrid last week, we could have shared a beer.

    Back on today - hoping Atletico can at least avoid a defeat to finish above Real and get the city bragging rights (at least in the league) this year.

    If Real win then Barca win the league, meaning Real will have to give Barca a guard of honor
  • If Real win then Barca win the league, meaning Real will have to give Barca a guard of honor at El Classico next weekend

    Clasico is weeks away, they don't play until 6 May, but Zidane has already said that if the situation arises then Real won't give Barca a guard of honour.

    I’m sure too could have had a pint each - no need to share.

    Superb game and some great performances from both keepers to keep the score down. Fair result and hopefully that should mean Atletico finish the season as the top team here (not counting the Champions League!)
  • Back on tonight and I think Atletico could struggle against Real, who look rampant with Bellingham.
  • On ITV4 incidentally
