That’s all for now. Here’s Sid Lowe’s full match report.
Updated
According to Infostrada Sports, Atletico Madrid have just become the first team to beat Real Madrid three times in a row at Bernabéu in La Liga. Not too shabby. Real have also now gone six straight against Atletico without a win in all competitions.
Full-time: Real Madrid 0-1 Atlético Madrid
There’s the final whistle and Real’s title hopes are surely done and dusted now thanks to Griezmann’s 53rd-minute strike. The result marks Atletico’s 25th (!) clean sheet of the season.
Updated
90 min+2: Home fans making their way up the aisles and into the corridors.
90 min+1: Tempers flaring in stoppage time as Sergio Ramos and Gabi get tied up.
90 min: Real have had 66% possession today, a far superior pass accuracy and frankly have looked better for long spells, but as we approach full time Atletico are ahead. Fourth official signals for three minutes of stoppage time.
Updated
88 min: A swift Real counter-attack, from end to end in the span of six passes, ends with Danilo firing a shot to the far post ... and it goes wide.
Updated
84 min: Another cross into Ronaldo, who gets a head on it but can’t hit it with power.
83 min: An increasingly desperate Real continue to press and come up short. Just now it was Ronaldo bursting through a gaggle of defenders but losing the ball before falling to the grass.
81 min: Now a second Atletico sub as Torres takes a long, slow walk off the pitch to welcome on Correa.
77 min: For Atletico, Kranevitter comes in for Augusto Fernandez.
Updated
75 min: Danilo rushes to recover a ball in the area and crashes to the turf. Legitimate foul or simulating in the hopes of winning a penalty? All that matters is what the referee thinks. In this case, play on.
73 min: Mayoral’s cross into the area from the left flank is pounced on by Oblak. Gimenez shown yellow for a foul on Mayoral.
70 min: Final change for Real as Jese enters for Isco.
68 min: Carvajal swings a cross into Ronaldo, who is loosely marked in the center of the area, and the Portuguese heads it directly toward the keeper. Formidable power on the header but less than ideal placement.
Updated
67 min: End to end action here! Moments after Atletico very nearly double their lead, a counter-attack leads to Ronaldo running with the ball dangerously close to the net, but his effort misses the target. Gripping stuff.
64 min: A speculative shot by Dani Carvajal from distance, but easily corralled by Oblak.
61 min: Vazquez shown yellow for a foul. Atletico have predictably packed it in over the past five minutes or so.
59 min: A resurgent Real attack up the left side. Danilo curls a cross into the area but Atletico close in quickly and clear it.
56 min: Lucas Vazquez comes on for James Rodriguez, Real’s second sub.
GOAL! Real Madrid 0-1 Atlético Madrid (Griezmann, 53 min)
Silence at the Bernabéu! Griezmann gallops with the ball down the center of the pitch into the final third. He passes to Filipe Luis, who smartly passes back to Griezmann rather than shooting himself, allowing Griezmann to pound it into the back of the goal.
Updated
48 min: Modric hits a gorgeous through ball into the area to a wide-open Ronaldo, whose right-footed rocket to the far post just skids wide. That should have been the opener!
46 min: We’re off in the second half. One change for Real Madrid at half-time as the youngster Borja Mayoral enters for Benzema, who must have taken a knock at some point.
Atletico have now gone more than 300 minutes without a goal across all competitions. Can they snap they drought in the second half? We’ll soon find out.

Maybe remind your audience that Atletico Madrid have only had 58 hours since landing in Madrid from their match against PSV, whereas Real Madrid have had an entire week. and the ref missed a yellow card to Benzema and one to Gabi.

Half-time: Real Madrid 0-0 Atlético Madrid
No stoppage time necessary as the referee blows the half-time whistle on the 45min mark. Three saves by Keylor Navas have kept the score deadlocked. A taut struggle where it feels like the first goal could be the decider.

42 min: Two acrobatic saves by Navas in succession – one on a shot from Godin, another from Koke – as Atletico are beginning to ramp up the pressure.
39 min: Atletico win a corner, their third of the match. Koke takes it and targets Griezmann, but it’s cleared.
36 min: Isco’s cross is gobbled up by Oblak. Felipe Luis, following a reckless challenge on Luka Modric, goes into the book with a yellow card.
32 min: Ronaldo’s free kick from 25 years is aimed at the top-left corner and demands a hair-trigger save from Oblak. Well done from the Slovenian international. Moments later Benzema has a shot on goal that misses wide left.
30 min: A quick throw-in taken by Ronaldo toward Benzema, who is tackled hastily by a Diego Godin, caught unawares. The referee shows him a yellow card.
27 min: A wonderful through ball from Danilo to Ronaldo, who is ruled offside but it looked awfully close. Real have been running riot up that left side all day.
24 min: Griezmann’s through ball to Torres finds the Spaniard a half-step offside. Agonizingly close, that. He would have had a clear path to the goal with only Navas to beat.

21 min: A low shot from Ronaldo skids just wide of the mark and out for a goal kick.
Updated
20 min: Real have the upper hand through 20 minutes but really sharp football from both sides out of the gate.
17 min: Danilo hacked to the ground by Juanfran, Atletico’s fourth foul already. Moments later Diego Godin nearly scores on a header, but it’s just misses the corner.
14 min: Madrid now holding the ball near midfield, probing the Atletico defense and looking to build up patiently. Lots of shorter, accurate passes between the midfielders.
11 min: Danilo plays a ball back to the keeper Navas, but there’s a lot of weight on it and Navas has to chest it down and corral it with an Atletico player closing in with speed. Dangerous moment!
9 min: Better from Atletico here over the past few minutes. They’re attacking consistently up the right flank. No substantial chances to show for it yet but they’ve put the hosts on the back foot.
5 min: Saul dispossessed by Danilo near the halfway line and Madrid are on the counter-attack. Danilo runs 15 yards with the ball before passing to Ronaldo, whose cross just misses the target. A very strong start for the hosts.
3 min: More pressure from Madrid up the left flank, but an Atletico defender disrupts the build-up in the final third.
1 min: And we’re off! Real Madrid in familiar white home strips attacking left to right, Atletico in red and white tops and blue shorts going right to left. And just like that, a quick chance for Madrid as Benzema picks out Ronaldo in the middle, whose shot misses the mark.
Not optimal conditions at the Bernabéu today: 7C with rough winds. The players are emerging from the tunnel. Not much longer now.
