48'
Three points would send Real Madrid back to the top of the La Liga table. Atletico Madrid will still have a game in-hand, but the pressure is really on as the Spanish title race reaches a finale.
47'
46'
No changes made by either manager at the half time interval but Zidane will surely want to see a change of approach from Real Madrid. They have been too passive so far.
2nd Half
45'
The second half is under way! It's still goalless between Real Madrid and Real Betis in this La Liga fixture.
End of 1st Half
45'
HALF TIME: Real Madrid 0-0 Real Betis. Goalless at the break at the Estadio Alfredo di Stefano and that is a far reflection of the contest we have watched so far. Pretty dull stuff.
44'
Militao makes a crucial intervention to prevent Iglesias from getting in behind the Real Madrid defence. He has struggled as a Real Madrid player, but Militao is in decent form.
43'
42'
It's been a frustrating match for Benzema so far. The French striker has shown glimpses of his briliance, but he has struggled for any sort of service. Doing it on his own.
41'
Benzema has been in such incredible form for Real Madrid this season. The French striker now has 21 goals in 28 appearances in La Liga and only seems to be getting better with age!
40'
Crucial tackle! The ball was played through for Iglesias, but Militao came across to prod the ball away from the Real Madrid forward. The flag was ultimately raised for offside anyway.
39'
This is a big chance for Rodrygo to show why he should be starting more games for Real Madrid, the Brazilian youngster has been a bit too wasteful in the first half.
38'
Isco becomes the first player to be booked for a late tackle on Miranda.

Not a lot of chances in the first half of this match so far. Zidane will surely want to see more from his team in the final third. Asensio has been a bit too quiet for Real Madrid.
34'
Real Betis have the quality to cause Real Madrid some problems. Canales is one of those players who tends to shine brightest when the spotlight is on him. How will he fare tonight?
33'
After a slow start, there is a sense that Real Madrid are turning the screw on Betis. The away side are now struggling to get out on the counter attack. Getting deeper and deeper.
32'
Canales shoots wide! The space opened up for the Real Betis midfielder on the edge of the box, but he dragged his shot a little bit and Courtois watches it flash wide of the target.
31'
30'
Flicked on by Isco! Benzema breaks down the left side and gets the cross into the middle, but Isco was always going to find it difficult to get that on target and he flicks wide.
28'
Fekir is ruled out for Real Betis through suspension. That is a big blow for Pellegrini’s side. The French midfielder is one of those players who could have done damage against Real Madrid.
