Check out Levante's line-up before the game kicks off:

The match gets underway at the Bernabeu. Real Madrid kicking from left to right and Levante in the other direction in the first half. Mbappe, Bellingham and the rest of the star-studded Los Blancos offense line dominating the early exchanges.

At Old Trafford, the Manchester Derby is currently goalless with the first half coming to an end. Michael Carrick has taken interim charge of the Red Devils, whereas Pep Guardiola is looking to close City's gap on leaders Arsenal.

Real Madrid, as expected, are hogging possession and keeping the ball in the Levante half for the most part. But the visitors are defending resolutely and somehow keeping Los Blancos at bay. Let's see how long this resistance lasts.

We are into the 40th minute of the encounter and Madrid have registered just one shot on goal, while Levante are yet to find any. The Frogs' defensive structure notwithstanding, Los Blancos have not looked eager enough to break the deadlock thus far.

After two minutes of added time, the referee blows the whistle to signal the end of a goalless first half. It's been a lacklustre display from Real Madrid so far against a spirited Levante, who have refused to go down without a fight. The second half could be a different story altogether, though.

The teams return from the lemon break and the second half kicks off at the Bernabeu. Madrid now kicking from right to left and Levante in the opposite direction.

Relief for Real Madrid! Kylian Mbappe wins a penalty and coolly slots it in, in the 58th minute to put Los Blancos ahead after much waiting. Mbappe sent the Levante goalie the wrong way and drove the spot kick into the bottom right corner to get his teammates and fans smiling again.

Raul Asencio! The Spanish centre-back comes up with a brilliant leaping header in response to Arda Guler's cross, and Levante's defence is beaten again. After a 55-minute lull, Madrid have sprung to life in the second half and look hungry for more.

Michael Carrick is off to a flying start as Manchester United head coach with a 2-0 win against Manchester City in the Premier League. Second-half goals from Bryan Mbeumo and Patrick Dorgu seal the win, with United fans singing in full voice and drowning out their fierce cross-city rivals.

After five minutes of injury time in the second half, the referee blows the final whistle and Real Madrid complete a 2-0 victory at home against Levante. It was a tale of two halves, with Los Blancos underwhelming in the first and elevating their game in the second. The pressure on manager Alvaro Arbeloa could relent, for now.
