00:00What a lovely, lovely day.
00:11Absolutely glorious weather here as we welcome you to a football match of considerable significance.
00:19Great consequence in this part of the world.
00:21They've been talking about this one for a while and they have rolled up to it in fantastic numbers.
00:27You should have seen the roads outside the ground in the hour or two leading up to it.
00:32It has been bumper to bumper.
00:34The traffic has been extraordinary, but the level of expectation is also very, very high.
00:40And these supporters who were queuing round the block for their tickets as soon as we knew.
00:46He's had a goal!
00:48It's broken loose.
00:51Danger averted for now.
00:57And it's Shoshinio.
01:12And it's Shoshinio.
01:16Shoshinio.
01:18He's in!
01:26Benzema really got caught in a trap there and he just couldn't get out.
01:35Cork.
01:40Hoists it forward.
01:42Balls out on the left now.
01:44Great strength.
01:47Too strong for his opponent.
01:55Leeds have made a 50-50 start.
01:57Three points after two games.
01:59Anything that caught your eye?
02:01Yeah, I mean, they've shown some good patches in games, but they need to...
02:05To get a bit of consistency, to be reliable week on week.
02:08Yeah, go along with that.
02:10They're strong and competitive.
02:12They've made a decent start and they can kick on from here.
02:15There's no doubt about that.
02:21Battles to win it back.
02:24Messi.
02:27Tries lifting it over.
02:29And that's been leave it clear.
02:36Tries to get it clear.
02:37And it's Messi.
02:45And that's been won straight back.
02:47And that's one way to annoy his teammates.
02:59That's a throw.
03:00Oh, sweet feet.
03:09Looks to drop one in.
03:12Defending of the desperate variety.
03:14If you have just joined us, well, you've missed no goals.
03:25And it's played forward.
03:30Click.
03:31Click.
03:38Lorenzi goes looking.
03:43Cork sticks in a foot to win it back.
03:55Click.
03:56He's got options out wide.
04:04Really didn't have enough to concern the defence.
04:08Big chance.
04:11Gets it back.
04:13Loose ball.
04:14Who's going to get there?
04:15Ronaldo looking to get on the end of this.
04:19He's got away.
04:21Cristiano Ronaldo.
04:23And the ball's come out.
04:24He flies.
04:26He's scored.
04:27Yeah, looking back at that.
04:33That's how you play on the counter.
04:35Quick and decisive and ruthless with the finish.
04:38I thought it was a stunning, stunning break there.
04:39Deadlock broken.
04:53It's 1-0.
04:54Yeah, this is also a chance to see what happens to their level of concentration from here.
05:01Click.
05:01Could be a chop.
05:05Has a pop.
05:07Well, that wasn't too dissimilar to the previous attempt.
05:10This is proving to be a very good spell.
05:13The intensity is great, but they've got to make it count.
05:29Cork.
05:29And here's Cristiano Ronaldo.
05:42Cristiano Ronaldo.
05:44Out to the left it goes.
05:47Surely.
05:48It's being played forward.
05:52Oh no, that's not the ball he wanted.
05:59He's had that put on a plate.
06:05Oh, that's nice.
06:08A siding tackle.
06:11It's gone a long way up and away.
06:19Benzema.
06:19Good idea.
06:28Just poorly executed.
06:32And then he's there to hoof it away.
06:34Jorginho.
06:43Forward it goes.
06:46Nice touch.
06:48There are a few waiting for it.
06:49Hardly anything between the sides.
06:58And the score is 1-0.
06:59And it's the goalkeepers to train.
07:08And the half-time whistle goes.
07:10And there we are.
07:11Off they go for half-time.
07:13The breakthrough did indeed come in the first half.
07:15But there has only been that one goal.
07:18It is very, very tight.
07:21Any strong opinions on the first half?
07:23I think there's plenty to be pleased about with that first half display in terms of the score and overall approach.
07:29Leading a cagey game here.
07:33It's had its moments.
07:34And it's 1-0 at the break.
07:37And if you're just back from your break, you've missed very little of the resumption of the second half.
07:43Well, 1-0 may be good enough.
07:45So they may err on the side of caution and get more players behind the ball instead of running beyond it.
07:51They could even try to spoil it from here.
07:53We'll see.
07:54He's gone for it.
07:56That has certainly tested the keeper.
08:01Oh, that's a sparkling save.
08:03Absolutely sparkling.
08:04His reflexes were ultra sharp.
08:10Click with the short one.
08:21Good run down the left.
08:23What can they make of it?
08:24Cristiano Ronaldo.
08:26He is not one readily to admit defeat.
08:33Don't be surprised if he tries that again.
08:37Needless to say, he was expecting a better ball than that.
08:43Sanchu.
08:43And here's Benzema.
08:51Messi drives it forward.
08:53They've got it back as soon as they gave it away.
09:12Benzema.
09:12Oh, what a ball.
09:16Chipped through.
09:18Benzema.
09:19Benzema really just wasn't quick enough then.
09:21Well, he's thinking certainly wasn't.
09:23Didn't make use of what I felt were some very good options.
09:31Benzema.
09:32Benzema.
09:33Benzema.
09:49Benzema.
09:49At pace
09:57What it is coming up to that point in the game where this defense is going to have to stay sharp
10:02In order to avoid the well-documented lapses that have befallen them in recent gets up to head
10:11Good effort very good effort. He would have at least wanted to make the keeper work though
10:19I
10:29Your impression so far Jim
10:31I think the managers pondering his options as to whether to stick or twist Peter in view of of the time remaining
10:37He might have a tough call to make now
10:42Roberts
10:44The Tongan plays it forward
10:49And it's been taken straight back we sit high it's got through to him
10:59Cleared away
11:02Has gone out
11:04And it's Jorginho
11:10Messi a scorer already in the game
11:14That could spell trouble
11:17Tripp shoots
11:18More than happy to take the muscular approach
11:26Putongan
11:29Messi
11:30Messi
11:31Cork
11:43Click
11:44Click
11:44Just a quarter of an hour to play
11:49Leeds keep the ball but can't do anything meaningful with it
11:55Cork tries to get it forward quickly
11:59Keep calm and carry on
12:02That's the job in a nutshell now
12:11Oh real danger here
12:13That's all
12:16Ferenzi
12:22Jorginho
12:27Jorginho spreads it towards the left
12:32There's a real appetite from them to finally put this game to bed
12:42But will they?
12:46So holding on now for those three precious points
13:01Just five minutes remaining now
13:10Just a few more moments for them to hang on
13:15Gets the better of his man
13:17Look with time running out
13:20They have to get the ball in the penalty box
13:22If it means a long punt then so be it
13:23They've got to give themselves a chance
13:25Grealish
13:33A really good feet from him
13:35Quick glance at goal
13:37Looks a foul
13:39Referee's given it
13:40Looking to widen the gap even further here
13:46This certainly looks appetising
13:48Well within shooting range
13:49Florenzi
13:53Oh what a goal
13:56He's got himself a pinch of a goal
14:00Two to the good
14:04They have breathing space
14:06And he's produced a beauty
14:12Two up and very little time left
14:31Surely this is it
14:32Yeah
14:33Looks very much like the final nail in the coffin for me
14:36I have to say
14:37And that has put paid to that
14:40He's left his man
14:41Cut out in the nick of time
14:46That's a foul
14:47No two ways about it
14:48And that will be the
