After a very slow start, Real Madrid are now firmly in their stride against Atletico Madrid. Having fallen behind inside seven minutes, Los Blancos have now taken the lead just over 20 minutes later, in what has been a pulsating opening half hour in Riyadh.

Mario Hermoso headed home the opening goal for Atleti, but Antonio Rudiger managed to find an equaliser soon after, with the German defender also scoring from a corner. Real Madrid have now gone 2-1 up, and it is another defender that has found the back of the net – this time, it’s Ferland Mendy.
