That's full time, and an easy win for Real.

Xhaka is backed for a hack on Ronaldo. A minute left.

Gonzalez has gone down, presumably with cramp. He's having his leg stretched by Pepe, and is now back up, limping.
87'
There's unlikely to be much extra time so Basel need a quick four goals to rescue the point.

GOAL! Real Madrid 5-1 Basel. Benzema scores. Ronaldo and Benzema play a 2-2 pass, with Benzema taking a couple of touches into the box, and he hammers the shot high into the net.
78'
Nacho's cross along the ground, with so many Real players waiting, and the keeper does well to push it clear of everyone.

Another chance for Basel. A one-two with Embolo gives Schar the opportunity to strike a shot from distance against the post.

Illarramendi is on for Modric, and Streller replaces Embolo.
72'
Modric finds Marcelo, but his cross from the left is cleared at the first man. There's then a lovely disguised pass to Bale, but he shoots straight at the 'keeper.
71'
The game is up. A few more subs maybe, but the whole thing has come to a standstill.

Varane lazily loops a header backwards that Gonzales latches onto, and Casillas does brilliantly to tip away his effort.

Varane replaces Ramos.

Kakitani comes off for Samuel.

Yes, they seem to have entirely given up. There might be a couple more Real goals if they can be bothered.
61'
Ramos sends a free kick roughly two million miles off target.
58'
Marcelo's quick feet wins a free kick on the very edge of the box.
57'
Benzema wastes a long-range effort.
