92' Morata almost makes an instant impact! He sends in a cross between the keeper and the defence for Bale but Schmelzer gets a touch just in time to deny the Welhsman. Real's corner is also cleared soon after.
89' SUBSTITUTION: Alvaro Morata has come on for Karim Benzema.
87' ANDRE SCHURRLE gives Dortmund the equaliser! Pulisic does well to advance into the final third and send in a cross that Aubameyang fails to connect with. But Schurrle is right behind him and he takes a touch to set himself up for a piledriver of a shot that hreatened to rip the roof of the net. Navas has been beaten again!
84' FOUL! Real captain Ramos takes out Dortmund captain Schmelzer on the left. Mor takes the free kick and sends the ball into the box but Real clear.
82' PULISIC... SAVED! Dortmund break down the right flank and Pulisic races into the box before pulling the trigger. But Navas is on hand to make yet another save. Moments later, Navas makes ANOTHER SAVE to deny Mor.
80' PENALTY? No chance! Emre Mor gets the ball at the edge of the box and tries to trick his way past the defence before forcing a shot while falling to the ground. He protests but Mark Clattenburg is having none of it.
78' SUBSTITUTION: That's the last of Guerreiro as he is taken off and Emre Mor comes on.
76' YELLOW CARD: Guerreiro goes into the book as he brings down Luka Modric with a cynical tackle just to prevent a counter-attack that threatened to carve Dortmund wide open. That was one for the team.
75' Schurllleee... WIDE! The German finds some space on the left and makes a run after receiving the ball in space. But he takes his shot too early and Navas dives just to make sure it isn't on target.
1 - Raphaël Varane has scored his first goal in #UCL in his 43 appearance in the competition. Gift.

73' SUBSTITUTION: Ousmane Dembele comes off for Christian Pulisic. Real Madrid's James Rodriguez had also come off for Mateo Kovacic a couple of minutes earlier.
70' Guerreiroooo... Straight at Navas! Lax defending sees the Portuguese left-back/midfielder fire a shot on goal and the Real goalkeeper makes the save.
68' Ronaldo sends in a pinpoint cross to the far post after they take a short corner. Benzema gets on the end of it but his shot rebounds off the woodwork. But the ball falls kindly to Raphael Varane who taps it home under no pressure whatsoever with Burki stranded at the far post.
66' SO CLOSE! Toni Kroos whips in a corner kick and Gareth Bale rises above the rest to make superb contact but his header sais just over the bar. Real should be leading by at least two goals by now.
64': YELLOW CARD! Sergio Ramos goes into the book for the first time in the Champions League this season for a foul on Aubameyang. Meanwhile, Schmelzer and Ronaldo are going at it off the ball.
62' Benzemaaa... SAVED! Another counter suddenly sees Real Madrid break at speed and the low cross from the right was into the centre of the box. But his shot is taken under severe pressure and Burki gathers the ball from a feeble shot on goal.
61' Ronaldoooo.... MISS! That was a sitter for Ronaldo. A cross from Sergio Ramos is sent into the box but the Portuguese forward fails to make contact with his head. And this time, he was ONSIDE!
59' SUBSTITUTION: Mario Gotze, who has failed to make any real mark in the game, has come off for Andre Schurrle.
58' Gareth Bale has got the better of Dortmund on a number of occasions and he is fouled yet again on a counter-attack.
54' Real Madrid have started to string a few passes together as they find space across the pitch. They've done well in attack except in the final third with the final pass found wanting.
51' Aubameyaaaaang... SAVED! Guerreiro finds his teammate and he takes a shot from the left but Navas makes a spectacular save to keep it out. That's one for the cameras.
49' It's been a sedate start to the half. Dortmund have had more than 60% of possession in this game with Real mainly looking to hit on the counter.
48' It looks like it was just a case of a dead leg as Ginter jogs back on. That's a huge relief for Dortmund.
46' Just a minute into the second half and Dortmund have siffered a setback with Ginter going down. He's clutching his hamstring nad has to come off.
PEEP! Dortmund kick off the second half.
The teams are back out and we're moments away from the second half.
Cristiano Ronaldo gave Real Madrid the lead but Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang equalised just before half-time to keep this game evenly balanced.
47' RONALDOOO...OFFSIDE! He manages to find the target with a header from a Benzema cross but he was coming back from an offside position before making contact. Good call from the linesman!
45' ONE MINUTE added on.
43' Raphael Guerreiro blasts in a free-kick and Navas manages to palm it away. But it falls to Aubameyang and the striker taps it in from less than a yard away.
40' Dortmund are finding space in midfield before Real close them down in the final third. They've formed two banks of four off the ball and it has proved effective so far.
37' WHAT! A! CROSS! Gareth Bale sends in the cross of the game so far from the left flank but Benzema has mistimed his run and is offside by a couple of yards.
34' Dembele whipped in the corner to the far post where Papastathopoulos almost equalised with a powerful header before Navas comes to the rescue again!
Here's Ronaldo celebrating his 96th goal in the Champions League!
33' Ooof! Dembele is literally running circles around the Madrid defence out on the right with some quick dribbles and even quicker turns. He's helped his side win a corner.
30' OFFSIDE! But what a pass and move by Aubameyang! He makes a quick turn and strikes from distance but the shot cannons off the bar. That was a superb move until the offisde flag came up.
28' Real Madrid are in cruise control now. Modric has just made a beautiful outside of the boot pass to Benzema out on the left that looked even better on the slow motion replay.
25' Dembeleeee... MISS! The youngster bamboozles Danilo with a quick turn and fires a shot on target before Ramos desperately dives in front of him to deflect the shot over the bar. That was close!
23' Wow, Varane and Aubameyang sprint for a ball and it is the French defender who wins the race and makes a clearance.
3 - Cristiano Ronaldo has scored in his three away games against Borussia Dortmund in #UCL (three goals). Infallible.

21' The goal has given Madrid confidence. Dortmund look a little shocked and need to recoup quickly.
17' James Rodriguez's no-look pass finds Gareth Bale making a run into the box. He immediately gives a back-heel pass and Cristiano Ronaldo fires home into the bottom left corner.
14' Benzemaaa... HOW DID HE LOSE THE BALL! Ronaldo slips through a sublime through-ball and Benzema takes a touch before tripping over in the box under zero pressure. Burki calmly collects the ball.

93' Desperate defending in Real Madrid's box. Navas claims a loose ball but Castro kicked him in the process and a mini brawl ends the game.
