We're underway at the Bernabeu.
Real Madrid come into the contest fresh off their 3-0 hammering of Juventus in the Champions League during the week. Zinedine Zidane's men are operating at the peak of their powers as we reach the climax of the campaign. Although their hopes of winning LaLiga are over, the club can still win the Champions League for a third season in a row.
Good afternoon and welcome to the live commentary of the Madrid derby between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid at the Bernabeu.
Los Blancos have reeled off six wins in a row ahead of the contest, including their triumph over Juve. Cristiano Ronaldo is firing on all cylinders, highlighted by his incredible overhead kick. The Portuguese has scored 18 goals in his last nine matches, which saw him score four times in Madrid's win over Girona last time out in LaLiga.
Atletico will have their hands full with Ronaldo this afternoon as they look to hang on to second place. Diego Simeone's men are impressive form themselves, winning 13 of their last 15 matches. Their only defeats in that period have come against Barcelona and Villarreal both on the road.
Los Rojiblancos put forward a strong performance during the week in the first leg of their Europa League quarter-final clash against Sporting CP. Goals from Koke and Antoine Griezmann secured the win, with the Frenchman netting for the fourth game in a row.
The team news has been announced and we'll start with the home side.
REAL MADRID (4-4-2): Keylor Navas; Daniel Carvajal, Sergio Ramos, Raphael Varane, Marcelo; Lucas Vazquez, Toni Kroos, Mateo Kovacic, Marco Asensio; Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale.
Real Madrid subs: Karim Benzema, Luka Modric, Kiko Casilla, Casemiro, Theo Hernandez, Marcos Llorente, Isco.
ATLETICO (4-4-2): Jan Oblak; Juanfran, Stefan Savic, Diego Godin, Lucas Hernandez; Vitolo, Thomas Partey, Saul Niguez, Koke; Antoine Griezmann, Diego Costa.
Atletico subs: Fernando Torres, Angel Correa, Gabi, Sime Vrsaljko, Kevin Gameiro, Axel Wener, Antonio Montoro.
Madrid have made four changes from their win over Juventus during the week. Bale, Asensio, Vazquez and Kovacic all come into the side this afternoon. Casemiro, Isco, Modric and Benzema all drop to the bench.
Atletico have made two changes from their win over Sporting CP on Thursday. Gabi and Correa come out of the side and are replaced by Vitolo and Partey in the midfield.
STAT! Real Madrid have won more games against Atletico than any other team in La Liga history (86 in 161 league derbies between both sides).
FLASHBACK! The two sides played out a goalless draw in their meeting earlier this season at the Wanda Metropolitano.
HALF-TIME: REAL MADRID 0-0 ATLETICO MADRID
It's goalless at the break in the Madrid derby, although Real Madrid have come closest to breaking the deadlock. Marcelo struck the bar with an effort just before the break, while Daniel Carvajal was denied on the rebound by Jan Oblak. Marco Asensio also struck the bar in the early stages of the contest after Toni Kroos had a decent shout for a penalty turned down. At the other end, Atletico have been quiet, although Diego Costa was denied by a good save from Keylor Navas. Both managers will want to see more from their sides in the second half.
FULL-TIME: REAL MADRID 1-1 ATLETICO MADRID
Thanks for joining our commentary this afternoon. Until next time, goodbye.
The Madrid derby ends honours even as Cristiano Ronaldo's opener was cancelled out by Antoine Griezmann. Real Madrid pushed for a winner late in the game, but Sergio Ramos' free-kick was well saved by Jan Oblak. Atletico Madrid will also feel that they could have won the contest a Keylor Navas produced a brilliant save to deny Koke in the second half. Both managers will feel that a point apiece was a fair result.
