Welcome to Nigerianeye's live text coverage of the La Liga meeting between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid at the Estadio Bernabeu.
Atleti may trail their city rivals by 10 points at the top of the table, having also played one game more, but they have won on each of their previous three league visits here - the first team to ever do so.
Los Blancos can sense a first title success in five years but still face all three sides directly below them between now and the end of the season, with today's Madrid derby followed closely by a huge showdown with Barcelona in a fortnight's time.
Can the hosts maintain their impressive run of form to stay clear at the top? Find out with our extensive updates below.
OFFICIAL LINE-UPS
REAL MADRID: Navas; Carvajal, Pepe, Ramos, Marcelo; Kroos, Casemiro, Modric; Bale, Benzema, Ronaldo
REAL MADRID SUBS: Casilla, Nacho, James Rodriguez, Kovacic, Vazquez, Morata, Isco
ATLETICO MADRID: Oblak; Juanfran, Godin, Savic, Filipe Luis; Gabi, Koke, Saul, Carrasco; Griezmann, Torres
ATLETICO MADRID SUBS: Moreira, Lucas, Gimenez, Thomas, Cerci, Rober, Correa
What a truly huge day this could be at the top of La Liga. Real Madrid were five points clear with a game in hand heading into the final five minutes, until Antoine Griezmann tucked the ball past Keylor Navas to earn Atletico Madrid a 1-1 draw. Now, Barcelona could draw level on 72 points with their rivals with victory at Malaga in a few hours' time. Thanks for joining our live coverage of the match!
90+4 min FULL-TIME: REAL MADRID 1-1 ATLETICO MADRID
90+2 min Two minutes have now passed and Atletico are forming a solid shape at the back that they are now famous for. Should it remain like this then Real can be caught on 72 points by Barcelona later tonight, albeit with a game in hand to play.
90 min We are into the early stages of added time in the Spanish capital, with Real four minutes away from seeing their title bid halted by their rivals. They just cannot seem to beat Atletico on home soil in La Liga!
88 min YELLOW CARDS! Delay tactics from Koke leads to him getting a yellow card, moments after Carvajal entered the referee's book for a challenge. Carrasco now off and Gimenez is on in his place for the remainder.
86 min Real thought they had done enough to end this recent home curse against Atleti, but that can never be a certainty when the opposition has a player of Griezmann's quality in their ranks. The Frenchman was left one-on-one with Navas and tucked into the bottom corner.
85 min GOAL! REAL MADRID 1-1 ATLETICO MADRID (ANTOINE GRIEZMANN)
83 min Still plenty of time for Atletico to snatch a point, which would not stop Real from relinquishing top spot but would give Barcelona serious incentive in their meeting with Malaga in Andalusia later this evening.
81 min REAL MADRID SUB! Zidane just breaking up play at the moment by making a second - and final - change in the space of a few minutes. Bale is off for Lucas, having failed to do a great deal in his 80 minutes on the pitch.
79 min The chances have dried up at the Estadio Bernabeu since Torres had a one-on-one attempt saved by Navas nearly 20 minutes ago. Real looking the brighter again but not doing enough to truly strengthen their small advantage.
77 min SUBS! The finishing line is now in sight for Los Blancos, as they turn to Isco in place of Kroos for the final staged of the match. Atletico also make their second alteration, bringing on Partey for Torres.
75 min Unbelievable acrobatic effort from Griezmann, who tested Navas with an overhead kick 12 yards from goal. The offside flag went up, however, with replays showing that it was the correct call made by the officials.
73 min Bale goes for glory but drags his attempt wide from just inside the box. Marcelo was picked out from the next attacking move but sent his volley narrowly wide of the target - decent attempt from the full-back.
71 min Marcelo's cross lacked quality, aimed at nobody in particular. Ronaldo, as ever, still managed to get on the end of it and looked to hook it into the mix with his head, but it was cleared away before a teammate could react.
69 min Simeone will be pleased with the way his side have performed in the past five minutes or so, as it is now they who are seeing more of the ball in dangerous areas. No chances for either side since that Torres miss.
67 min Good play from Carrasco initially, but he then failed to pick out Correa in a good position with a poor final ball. Approaching the final 20 minutes in the Spanish capital and all of a sudden it is a more evenly-matched contest.
63 min Pretty relentless stuff in this second half but an injury to Pepe, who collided with teammate Kroos, has given both teams a chance to catch their breath. Real had been dominant since the restart, though Torres really should have levelled things up moments ago.
61 min YELLOW CARD! Godin is the second Atletico player to be booked, as Simeone makes the first change of the afternoon. Correa on for Saul Niguez which will mean a slight reshuffle in midfield as Atleti go in search of a leveller.
59 min SAVE! A potentially huge moment not just in this match but in the title race, as Torres is slipped through on goal but denied by the outrushing Navas. Should have scored; Atletico should be level at the Bernabeu!
57 min SHOT! Atletico just have not got going since the restart. A shot from range pretty much out of nowhere may just be what they need to spark back into life. Still plenty of time in this match to get a goal or two!
55 min CHANCE! Just complete dominance from Real in this second half, as they continue to press for a second. Bale's delivery from the right is only half-cleared, with Carvajal miscuing over the bar from the follow-up.
53 min Real get the goal that they deserve, finding a way past Oblak through a brilliant Pepe header. Kroos sent a free kick into a dangerous position, and the Portuguese was there to meet it around 10 yards out for the key opening goal.
52 min GOAL! REAL MADRID 1-0 ATLETICO MADRID (PEPE)
50 min Atletico all over the place at the moment, as they constantly give the ball away and struggle to hold their line. Real just need to keep this momentum going because at this rate they will break down their opponents' wall in the next 10 minutes.
48 min SAVE! Real have come out the stronger side in this second half and have created another big chance, this time for Benzema. Ronaldo peeled away unmarked at the back post and picked out Benzema just a few yards out, but Oblak superbly kept it out.
46 min RESTART! We are back underway at the Estadio Bernabeu, and there is news of a chance just a minute or so into the second half. Marcelo lofted the ball into the box and Ronaldo met it in trademark style with his head, but failed to pick out the far corner.
The half-time whistle sounds at the Estadio Bernabeu, bringing the end to an opening 45 minutes that provided us with a few decent openings. Real Madrid will perhaps feel that they deserve to be ahead at the break, with Jan Oblak pulling off a couple of big stops and Stefan Savic saving off the line, but Atletico Madrid have themselves created one or two chances.
45+1 min HALF-TIME: REAL MADRID 0-0 ATLETICO MADRID
45 min Ronaldo very nearly getting the ball under control at the back post when picked out. No added time to come at the end of the first half, so that will likely be the last chance either side has of opening the scoring.
43 min Fast approaching half time in the Spanish capital and there is nothing to separate the two teams. Real deserve to be ahead after creating a few big openings, though that said Griezmann came close to opening the scoring a few minutes ago.
39 min SAVE! Welcome to the match, Antoine Griezmann! A sloppy pass in midfield in pounced on by the striker, who ran at the opposition box and fired a little earlier than expected, forcing a big save down low out of Navas.
37 min YELLOW CARD! Casemiro is penalised for his challenge in midfield, meaning that he is now walking a tightrope for the remaining 53 minutes of this match. Atleti unable to create anything from the subsequent free kick.
35 min A quieter spell in the match now as Atletico look to take the sting out of things. A replay has just been shown of Savic's headed clearance off the line, which really was incredible - superb defending from the former Man City defender.
33 min More than a third of the way through the game now and Real are really starting to build up some momentum, coming close a number of times in quick succession. One off the line and a few big saves from the impressive Oblak.
31 min CHANCE! Not quite sure how Real are not head after a succession of big chances. Bale has barely had a touch of the ball so far but his glanced header needed stopping down low by Oblak to keep us level.
29 min OFF THE LINE! The chances starting to come regularly for the hosts now, as Ronaldo is slotted through and blasts the ball past Oblak, only for Savic to incredibly clear the ball off the line with a diving header.
27 min SAVE! Wonderful play from Real - the best attacking move of the match so far by some distance. Benzema and Ronaldo exchange passes in the box and the former has a clean shot on goal, which Oblak was equal to with a strong hand.
25 min Saul Niguez has the ball at his feet 25 yards from goal with Filipe Luis outside waiting to be played in, as well as Griezmann to his right, but he takes on the shot and sends it high into the stands.
23 min Marcelo appears to be seeing more of the ball down the left-hand flank than any other player at the moment, without doing a great deal with it. A nice piece of trickery a few moments ago but it ultimately came to little.
21 min A cross from the right is crying out for Griezmann to meet with his head at the front post, but he fails to do so and Navas is there to punch clear. Still awaiting the first clear-cut opening of the afternoon, with 21 minutes now played.
19 min We are approaching the quarter-way mark in this Madrid derby and it is fair to say it has been a little tense so far. A decent early chance for Saul Niguez went begging and Ronaldo has had one belter kept out by Oblak.
17 min Modric is given a little too much space and has a pop from range, with his attempt taking a deflection on its way over the bar. Carrasco then slotted it through for Griezmann, who hit the post with his shot but was flagged for offside regardless.
15 min Ronaldo wins a free kick a good 40-45 yards from goal and appears ready to take it on. He shaped up ready to blast it but then delicately chipped it in at the last moment, but Atleti were able to clear their lines.
13 min SAVE! Superb stop from Oblak down to his bottom right. Ronaldo has barely had a sight of goal so far, but he unleashed from 20 yards out with a shot that looked destined for the bottom corner if not for the Slovenian's sprawling save.
11 min Real enjoying more possession of the ball in the past couple of minutes but are struggling to find any real rhythm. Atletico have not fared all that much better but they have looked the livelier on the whole early on.
7 min Torres with a nice bit of skill on the edge of the area, but he cannot quite bring it under control to get a shot away. Los Blancos not really done an awful lot in the final third in these opening seven minutes or so.
5 min Both sides have made a bright star to the match, but it is the visitors who fashioned the best opening yet with that headed chance for Saul Niguez. Bale almost picked out around the back soon after but the Oblak read it well and was quickly out.
3 min A superb delivery into the box from Koke from the left-hand side, who picked out Saul Niguez towards the back post. Not a great deal of contact made with the ball and it skidded out for a goal kick.
1 min KICKOFF! We are officially up and running at the Estadio Bernabeu. Atletico Madrid unchanged from their last outing, with Kevin Gameiro unable to return from injury in time for this one, while Real Madrid go with seven changes as they revert back to their strongest available XI.
