Half-time: Real Madrid 0-0 Real Valladolid. And that is that for a poor opening 45 minutes for Ancelotti’s men at the Bernabeu. Valladolid have sat in and done well to absorb all the Madrid pressure, limiting them to just one shot on target. 45+2 Into added time of first half.

There will be four minutes of added time at the end of this initial period. For a second Mbappe looks in on goal following a sliding through ball from Guler but Rosa comes back in the nick of time yet the flag was up anyhow. The camera goes to Luka Modric and you feel this is a game for the Croatian Maestro. 45′

Madrid struggling to produce opportunities Guler picks up a promising position in the Valladolid box before the ball deflects to Rodrygo but the ball brushes the Brazilian’s hand as he looks to make room for the shoot and the free-kick is given. Militao wants to chip it over the top but there is not enough space for it to come off with the visitors sitting so deep.

Andre gets away yet another foul against Rudiger. Moments later the referee shrugs aside his protests for a foul after a challenge from Militao. It was the appropriate call. 41′

Valladolid gaining into first half Valladolid then enjoy a stretch of possession higher up the pitch in the Madrid half. A foul on Rodrygo eases the immediate pressure on Los Blancos before Guler gets the free-kick in the Valladolid half. The Turkish youngster whips in an inswinging pass but a defensive header deflects it back to Hein in goal.

Marcos Andre moves in strongly on Rudiger – he will have to be careful after his early caution. Rodrygo takes it up in a wonderful position down the left but his square ball across the edge of the box is sloppy and doesn’t locate a white shirt. 37′

Valladolid keeping to the plan so far Marcos Andre is okay to continue and play restarts. Madrid immediately have Valladolid penned into their box. Sanchez eventually pinches it off Vinicius before Mbappe loses out and Militao gives away the foul.

The last time Valladolid were at the Bernabeu they were already 4-0 down at this level following an eight-minute Benzema hat-trick so they will be happy with this start. 33′

Water break in 30C heat Marcos Andre again looks to counter but he is outnumbered five to one by the Madrid defence and Valverde who puts his foot in to win it back.

An uncharacteristically lonesome afternoon thus far for the Valladolid striker. Rudiger takes aim from a long way off but his shot is stopped. Marcos Andre is currently down wounded after falling back to confront Tchouameni. A busy few minutes for the forward.

The players take this as an opportunity for a water break and an intensive but presumably positive chat with Valladolid boss Pezzolano, according to the Spanish-speaking analyst. 29′

Yellow for Valladolid striker Rodrygo goes on a wonderful jinking run slicing past the Valladolid defence before popping the ball off on the edges of the area. It lands with Guler who is in an offside position. Rodrygo calls for the free-kick after a late challenge on him as he released the ball there but it would have been mild.

Tchouameni delivers an incisive ball into Mbappe’s foot and he looks to combine with Guler but it’s all a bit packed. Militao again stops the counter as he challenges Marcos Andre who then picks up the first yellow card for dissent after feeling he was fouled by the Brazilian defender. Yellow card M. Andre Real Valladolid Yellow Cards1 25′

Tchouameni hits speculative effort Possession statistics suggest Madrid have possessed 59% of the ball but they are yet to convert their possession into a clear-cut chance.

Mbappe comes out to the right this time to find some space. It’s worked back to Tchouameni who takes aim from distance but blazes over.

Valladolid will be pleased to watch that kind of efforts all day. Mbappe again moves to the right but Guler’s ball is inaccurate and goes out for a throw. 22′ Positive early touches for Mbappe

A stunning flip from Mbappe to Valverde has the audience on its feet. Valverde slides in Carvajal but his cut back is cut out. Militao’s sliding challenge ends the countdown. There haven’t been a tremendous deal of touches for the Madrid No. 9 thus far but the ones he has had have been full of quality.

After Vinicius fouls Perez, Valladolid keeper Hein sits down implying an injury to his right leg. After some treatment he appears okay to continue. Valladolid have first attempt

It’s Vinicius this time putting the Valladolid defence under pressure to force the slightly dubious corner. It’s played short before being delivered in and heading clear.

A superb and well-timed tackle by Valverde prevents the counter. A superb diagonal pass from Sanchez is thrown out to Machis on Vallodolid’s left-hand side.

He cuts in and looks for the bottom right corner but a deflection sees his effort whistle wide. The short corner routine is cleared by Madrid. Best move of the match from the visitors so far. 14′

Guler getting intrigued A hard challenge from Juric on Guler is waved on by the referee. An strange call but an optimistic indicator that he is looking to let the game flow. Tchouameni then surely gets fouled.

Guler and Rodrygo do very well to push and harry Rosa deep in his own half to win the corner for Madrid but it is headed clear. Excellent work off the ball though from Ancelotti’s forwards. 11′

First sighter for Mbappe Valverde does well to break up play before Rudiger throws a long ball over the top for Mbappe to lengthen his legs for the first time. It’s got a bit too much on it though and the Frenchman is forced to recycle the ball.

Mbappe makes another identical run off the right centre-back’s shoulder and Rudiger this time plays his chipped pass to perfection. The ball comes over Mbappe who volleys it first-time with his left foot. He gets the effort on aim but Hein is down well to save. 7′

Vinicius alleges handball from Valladolid goalie Hein sprints out to claim a long ball which Vinicius thinks was outside of his box but the referee waves it away. Replays suggest the Brazilian may have had a case.

A sloppy touch from Rosa at left-back gifts Madrid possession. It will be a long afternoon for Valladolid with cheap blunders like that. An offside flag haults the Madrid attack though.

Confident start from Madrid Rodrygo lifts the crowd early on as he knocks Rosa off the ball before winning a free-kick as he skipped by the defender. Madrid exploit this as a chance to gain some early dominance.

Carvajal plays a beautiful through pass down the right channel for Guler who wins a corner. It’s worked short and is eventually floated in by Vinicius but it’s easy pickings for Hein.

After a moment’s silence, we are commencing here at the Bernabeu with Valladolid starting proceedings kicking from right to left. 15:55

Five minutes until kick-off We are just five minutes away from kick-off here at the Santiago Bernabeu. Can Kylian Mbappe score his first La Liga goal to help Real Madrid to their first league win of the campaign or will newly promoted Real Valladolid find their second win in two games and trigger an unexpected upset?
