16:48. I've been Ben Warner, and thank you for joining me in this afternoon's clash between Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid.
16:47. Today was a good chance for the world to get a good look at some of the youth talent coming out of both of these sides' academies. PSG brought several very young players on in the second half, and Rabiot in particular performed well against some very good Real Madrid players. It was however a Real youngster who provided the winning goal, in the 19th minute.
16:45. In truth, it wasn't the best performance you'll ever see from a Real Madrid team. However, they did the job they were ordered to, and came away with a result they will be pleased with against another big European side. They are also back in action this weekend, against Celta Vigo in the Liga BBVA.
16:42. Laurent Blanc may feel slightly disappointed in the result, given the amount of chances his team had. However, the French side could be criticised for not being accurate enough in their shooting. Either way, they will look to recover in this weekend's cup tie with Brest, their first fixture since the beginning of the winter break in France.
90+3. The referee blows the whistle at the end of injury time, with Real Madrid emerging from the game as the victors, after Jese's first half finish for the Spaniards.
90+3 CHANCE. Jaime's cross is collected by PSG, who counter with Lucas Moura, who cuts inside twice, before firing low just wide past Jesus' goal.
90+2. Real go forward with the aim of securing the win, but the shot from outside the box is blocked with no danger.
90+1. PSG keep the pressure on, but a cross is just too far for Pastore to reach, and it is a goal kick to the winning team in the first minute of three added.
90. Marquinos wins a corner off of Marcelo in the final minute of normal time. Corner earily cleared though.
89. Coman takes a shot from just outside the box in the right channel, but his powerful strike flies well off of target - a comon theme today.
88. PSG play fast on the counter with Ongenda, who finds a teammate, who's cross is blocked by a Real leg, and a corner is given to the French side. Lucas Moura wins the ball, but met it with his shoulder, and it flies out for a goal kick.
86. The corner flies over everyone and is controlled by Thiago Silva at the opposite edge of the box. His cross on the volley then goes straight out for a corner to the Spanish side.
85. Maxwell gets up well to head the ball away from Benzema and out for a corner, which is easily cleared. PSG quickly counter and win a counter of their own.
84 CHANCE. Real counter fast, in a 5-on-2 situation, but several PSG players get back to help out, and eventually the ball goes astray.
83 CHANCE. Menez dribbles with the ball into the left channel, and takes a shot towards Jesus' goal. The curling chance flies just over the top corner, and out for a goal kick.
82. Moura makes his way forward and finds himself costless in the box, but his shot is blocked before is reaches Jesus.
81. A ball over the top is latched onto by Coman, who's first touch had to be a good one, and it was. His second is a cross-shot towards goal, but Jesus manages to put it out for a corner. Rabiot then heads wide from the corner-kick.
80. Real keeping the pressure on in the attacking third, but mainly in the wide areas.
79. Real win a corner needlessly, when a PSG defender heads the ball out by mistake. Sirigu tries to keep it in but fails - the resultant corner has no end product.

75. Angel Di Maria wins a corner off of Thiago Silva, but the Real set-piece flies straight out for a goal-kick.
74. PSG with another headed chance in the box, but it is blocked before it can reach Jesus' goal and eventually cleared by the Spaniards.
73. Two more substitutions for PSG. Zlatan Ibrahimovic is replaced by 17-year-old Kingsley Coman, whist Ongenda replaces Matuidi, and Camara replaces Van Der Wiel.
72. Pepe heads Moura's corner away, and PSG are forced to play it back into their defensive third, but keep the ball well.
71. Maxwell fizzes a low cross into the box, which is cleard once again by Real, for a corner which Lucas Moura will take.
70. Modric plays a very nice pass to Jaime on the left-wing, who runs to the box and senses a chance, and as such takes the shot, which is poor and flies safely wide.
69. PSG starting to once again control a lot of the possession, but with little result. Di Maria catches a complacent PSG player out, but Rabiot is there to kill the chance.
68. The resulting corner is dangerous, but eventually cleared by the Spanish side after a couple of good chances for the attacking team.
67. Menez tricks his way into a very good position to cross across the face of goal. Marcelo is at the far post to get the ball away from Moura.
66. Di Maria takes an audacious long-range shot, but it is no threat and easily saved.
65. Lucas Moura tries to get a ball played through to him, but has to stretch and cross first-time, meaning the weak ball is collected easily by Jesus.
64. The second half has been a lot more even than the first, with Real being in the game a lot more. However, not too many chances are being created by either side.
62. Three substituions for PSG: Cavani is replaced by Menez, Rabiot replaces Verratti, and Pastore replaces Thiago Motta.
61. Van Der Wiel crosses in, but his cross is dealt with by Jesus. Modric eventually wins a costlesskick near the half-way mark.
60. PSG coping well with the pressure put on by the Real attackers trying to win the ball, as the Parisians keep the ball well.
59. Good play between Lucas and Cavani gives the Brazilian a chance to shoot, but he loses control of the ball and the chance is cleared.
58. Pepe has to think fast to stop a through ball finding Zlatan, and the ball goes for a corner. It is crossed in to the unmarked Thiago Motta, who heads over in a poor miss.
57. Ibrahimovic takes the long-range costless-kick, but it flies well over Jesus' goal. The goal kick is quickly won back, and PSG go forwards again.
56. After a very good first-half performance, PSG are finding possession much harder to keep, but they have a chance with a costless-kick after a foul on Matuidi, 30 metres from goal.
55. Luka Modric crosses in from the right of the box towards Benzema, but Sirigu gets down well to catch the cross before the Frenchman can exploit it.
52 CHANCE. A ball is crossed into the box towards Benzema, who takes it down on his chest and turns to volley towards goal; his powerful shot rockets off the bar and away.
52. Both sides venturing fowards early on, particularly Real, however PSG defending well.

46. Back underway here in Doha! Just moments into the half, Edinson Cavani fouls Benzema from behind on the half-way line.
15:48. Wholsale changes for Real at half-time. Isco, Modric, Benzema, Marcelo, Jaime, and Pepe are all amongst the players coming on. Meanwhile, Marquinos, Maxwell and Lucas Moura have all come on for Paris Saint-Germain.
15:38. Paris Saint-Germain may feel aggreived for finding themselves behind despite a good first-half performance, with several chances for the French side, particularly for Edinson Cavani. If they can keep the performance up in the second 45 minutes, there will definitely be chances for the losing side to turn the game around and try to come away with a win.
45+1. The referee blows his whistle for the half-time break. Real lead thanks to Jese's goal, but the signs are promising for Laurent Blanc's men in the second half.
45. We're into one minute of injury time here in Qatar.
44. Real counter and Ronaldo sprints down the left-wing, before the ball is taken from his feet by Sirigu eaily.
43. Arbeloa gets up well to defend a cross headed for Ibrahimovic. The corner is quickly cleared, as are the rebounds.
42. Cavani is given another chance to run in and poke home at the bak post, but the deflected cross just misses the Uruguayan. The resultant corner comes to nothing.
41 CHANCE. Another chance for Jose Rodriguez, who takes an audacious shot from some way out. It flies a couple of feet wide, but it is promising for the Spanish team.
40 CHANCE. PSG find themselves in a good attacking position with more attackers than defenders, but as the ball is squared to Ibrahimovic and he takes a shot, it rolls easily into the arms of the relieved Lopez.

33. Zlatan Ibrahimovic does well to keep the ball in from a poor cross, but is tackled by a Real defender before he can do any damage.
32. Alex particularly is threatening from set pieces, which are looking the most dangerous part of the PSG game.
30. Edinson Cavani is played though with an eye-of-the-needle ball through the Real defence, but the flag is raised with the Uruguayan a couple of yards offside.
29. Ibrahimovic takes a shot from the edge of the box, a curler, but it is deflected twice and away by the Spaniards to safety. Moments later, Cavani heads well over the bar after a cross to him.
28. Paris Saint-Germain still cntroling a lot of the play in the opposition half, but not ttoo many chances are being created by the Frenchmen.

22. Digne gets forward once again, and takes a cross-shot towards the far post of Lopez's goal, but it is too far from the goal and Cavani for either to get a touch, so the ball heads out for a goal kick.
21. A lot more even since that Cavani miss, with both sides having nearly-chances. However, nothing comes for eitehr side.
19 GOAL. In a similar move to moents earlier, a ball is played through to Jese, who times his run ot perfection, before calmly rolling past the keeper into the bottom corner. PSG 0-1 Real Madrid.

13. Cavani finds himself with a half-chance on the volley after a lucky deflection, but his shot curls well wide of Lopez's goal.
12. PSG have perhaps been the better team so far, and Verratti wins a costless-kick in the Real half off of Sergio Ramos. It is eventually crossed into the box, and Ramos then wins a costless-kick from Ibrahimovic.
10. Lavezzi finds his way into the box with support, and tries to take the Real defence on, but loses the ball as it goes out for a corner, which then comes to nothing.
