Madrid with less of a stranglehold on the game now with the three Villarreal subs igniting the home side as the clock ticks down.

Parejo lofts the ball into the area, Courtois comes but misses the ball but fortunately for the visitors the ball breaks free to a Real Madrid player.

At present, we look like we're someway off the scoreline from the past three seasons here at Vila-real and my prediction looks well off the money too.

Gerard breaks but the flag is up. Irrespective of the call, Courtois was alert to clear his lines. Chukwueze fires over after a fine one-two Shots on target after an hour of action: Villarreal Real Madrid Both sides looking a little weary now, many players have been on international duty but an injection of fresh legs would do the game a world of good.

Gerard Moreno drives the ball inches wide after a defensive error from Nacho. Best chance of the day for the home side.

Kubo and Chukwueze is what Villarreal fans are anxious to see, the creativity of the Japanese player and the attacking threat of the Nigerian forward.

Emery looks rather anxious on the Villarreal bench as he orders a number of men on the bench to warm up. Villarreal with plenty of possession but unable to create any serious danger on Courtois' goal.

Left footed Lucas Vazquez fires over with the flag up already as Mariano picked up the ball in an offiside position.

Villarreal press as Madrid gift the men in yellow possession but Nacho does well to avert the danger. The sides take to the pitch at the Ceramica.

Emery needs to change his personnel with the current side lacking the spark to cut through the well organised Real Madrid rear-guard but at a glance it appears that no changes have been made at the interval.

Should things stay as they are at the 'Ceramica', Real Madrid would jump to second place in the LaLiga table on 19 points, just one behind leaders Real Sociedad.

Solid from Real Madrid who have never looked under serious pressure from the side in yellow. Little in terms of goal mouth incident apart from the Mariano goal.

Villarreal need to improve their dead ball delivery with Parejo disappointing tonight. Mariano has acquitted himself admirable this afternoon with the year-old fighting and battling for every ball.

Villarreal could do with the speed and agility of Nigerian striker Chukwueze today as Bacca looks lumbersome and speed is not Gerard Moreno's game and quite clearly the 'Yellow Submarine' are dearly missing the services of Paco Alcacer.

Varane looking nimble today and showing no signs of the possible injury which threatened to rule the French defender out of the game.

Villarreal's play out of defense is somewhat ponderous and lacking a spark with Madrid second guessing each passage of play. Kroos leads with the studs and the referee calls for dangerous play.

Parejo over the ball and once again a poor hit from the man in yellow. Real Madrid counter and the ball falls to Mariano who drives the ball off the post but the flag is up.

Coming up to the 30' mark and despite their effort and industry, it's Real Madrid who are still in control here in Vila-real both in terms of possession, sensations and more importantly via the score-board.

Very little for either goalkeeper to deal with so far with the buik of the game being concentrated in the central area of the pitch. Atletico Madrid.

Real Sociedad. Real Madrid. Sevilla FC. Real Betis. Athletic Bilbao. Celta Vigo. Real Valladolid. His only really glaring issue was a poor pass out of the back that led to a fantastic chance for Moreno, but fortunately for Nacho, he missed just wide.

He did pick up a yellow card for an overly physical challenge in the second half, but Los Blancos fans are used to that from their usual star Ramos, and in defense it was hardly noticeable that he was missing thanks to the shift Nacho put in.

OK, that's all you need to see from Real in attack, because that is all they did. Eden Hazard was awful, Martin Odegaard didn't create, and without Benzema, the attack had no focal point.

So despite the fact that Hazard and Odegaard combined to complete 29 of 31 passes in the final third, they didn't create a single chance for Madrid.

In the end, it's probably a good point for Zidane's team considering the underwhelming performance, but it also doesn't exactly scream "good form" ahead of a big Champions League clash at Inter Milan this week.
