21:23

21′: Raphinha is off target

Yamal eliminates Rüdiger before serving Raphinha at the edge of the area. With his back to goal, the Brazilian turns around in front of Vazquez before following up with a strike. It’s not framed.

19:45

The Real Madrid line-up with Mbappé

Lunin – Vazquez, Militão, Rüdiger, F.Mendy – Tchouaméni, Valverde, Camavinga, Bellingham – Mbappé, Vinicius
