90' +4
A. Matri enters the game and replaces P. Mexès.

90' +2

DE JONG CONVERTS! Great finish from the Dutchman, who finds the bottom corner! 1-1!
MARCELO SCORES! Again, Donnarumma is sent the wrong way and Real Madrid retake the lead! 2-1!
90' +1
JAMES SCORES! He sends the goalkeeper the wrong way! 1-0!
90'
Casemiro now sends a long-range strike way clear of the crossbar, with Donnarumma looking likely to make his first save of the game during a penalty shootout. Only a few minutes remain for a late goal, with Milan defending well.
88'
Marcelo blasts a wild effort over the crossbar from the edge of the penalty area! Real Madrid are seeing the late possession, but Donnarumma remains untested. This is looking as though it will end in a penalty shootout, with these teams appearing unable to find a breakthrough goal.
86'
James curls in a corner delivery, but Milan clear with ease! Jese and Casemiro then both deliver crosses in quick succession, but both are headed away from danger. Real Madrid are struggling to pick out a central striking figure today, it must be said.
84'
We're getting into the dying embers of the game in China, with Real Madrid still pushing on desperately! Los Blancos break down the right, before a cross is diverted behind for a goal kick, with Donnarumma having his angles covered. Moments later, Cheryshev skips down the left, but the Russian winger sees a shot blocked by Zapata.
82'
Luiz Adriano sets Bacca away, after a mistake from Ramos, but the former Club Brugge striker can only force a good one-on-one save from Casilla! Should have done better! He beat two players, but then rushed his finish and placed it far too close to the goalkeeper.
80'
Carvajal looks to force the issue down the right-hand side, but Milan have a lot of players behind the ball. Mihajlovic has definitely made this Rossoneri outfit a lot tougher and harder to break down.
78'
After another water break, the players are back underway for the final 10 minutes or so in Shanghai. Marcelo plays a penetrating ball down the left flank, but James is marshalled back towards his own goal again. Real Madrid are looking to find a winning goal before the final whistle here.
76'
Interestingly enough, Gianluigi Donnarumma has just taken to the field for Milan, with the young goalkeeper featuring at merely 16 years of age. A big quarter of an hour remains for the youngster, who could be facing a penalty shootout before long!
75'
Brilliant work from Kroos! The Germany international picks up a loose ball around 30 yards from goal, before dancing around two challenges! As he looks to enter the box, however, his luck runs out and Mexes steps in.
74'
73'
Wide from Mauri! Bacca finds the feet of the former Parma midfielder, who then musters up an effort from 25 yards out! It fizzes beyond the right-hand post, with Casilla content to watch it go on its merry way.
72'
D. Calabria enters the game and replaces M. De Sciglio.
G. Paletta enters the game and replaces L. Antonelli.
J. Rodríguez enters the game and replaces Cristiano Ronaldo.

71'
D. Cheryshev enters the game and replaces G. Bale.
Nacho enters the game and replaces Pepe.
Dani Carvajal enters the game and replaces Danilo.
Marcelo enters the game and replaces Arbeloa.
Time is ticking down in terms of finding a goal in this game! Nacho, Marcelo and Carvajal come into the fray, with Real Madrid's back four now needing to settle down and accommodate a new back four. Cheryshev and James are also introduced. Not long remains to impress.
69'
Jese pressures Diego Lopez, after a poor backpass to the former Los Blancos goalkeeper, but the Spaniard holds his nerve. Isco and Bale then combine around 30 yards from goal, but the Welshman can only fire a dipping shot directly at the Milan shot-stopper!
67'
Real Madrid are definitely impressing with the likes of Kroos and Isco contributing to their midfield movements. De Sciglio whips in a cross from the right-hand side, but Bacca is beaten to the ball by Danilo. Benitez's men have much more balance in this second half.
65'
Cristiano has a half chance, after being released in behind by Bale. The former Manchester United forward's first touch lets him down, allowing for Mexes to recover and put on some pressure. Lopez gobbles up the loose ball. Moments later, Zapata puts in a timely interception to deny yet another electric Real Madrid break.
64'
Over the bar from Isco! Cristiano breaks down the right brilliantly, leaving Antonelli in his wake. The Portuguese star hangs up a cross, with Bale unable to head goalwards due to pressure from Zapata. The rebound falls to the former Malaga midfielder, who can't keep it down!
62'
Only half an hour remains for the deadlock to be broken in Shanghai, with this contest set to go to penalties immediately if things stay level. Bacca manages to pressure Pepe into giving away a corner, which Honda whips in, but Casilla punches clear well. Moments later, Luiz Adriano tees up Bacca, but the Colombian striker's phenomenal effort is pushed over the crossbar acrobatically by the goalkeeper!
60'
Bale and Jese gamble on a back-post cross, but Antonelli has the peace of mind to cushion the ball to Diego Lopez despite being under pressure. Real Madrid just might spring into action, after that outstanding bit of interplay pioneered by Isco.
58'
Wide from Bale! Real Madrid win themselves another corner, which the former Southampton youngster can only guide beyond the near post with his head! Los Blancos then break upfield beautifully, with Isco pulling the strings, before a back-post header from Cristiano is beaten clear of danger by Diego Lopez!
56'
Good goalkeeping from Casilla! Montolivo manages to hang up a cross from the right-hand side, which the former Espanyol goalkeeper pushes half clear, before gathering up the rebound. Milan are still looking to force the issue, with Real Madrid continuing to create very little indeed.
54'
Real Madrid win themselves a free kick on the edge of the opposition penalty area, with Bale keen to step up to take it. The Welshman dips a powerful effort both over the wall and the target, however. Diego Lopez was more than happy to watch it over his crossbar.
52'
Just wide from Kroos! Jese scampers down the right-hand side, before cutting back a neat pass to the edge of the box! The former Bayern man rifles a low drive inside the near post, but a deflection off Montolivo guides the ball wide of the upright! Moments later, Zapata makes a good clearing header to deny Pepe at the back post.
50'
De Sciglio whips a cross into the box from the right-hand side, but Casemiro tracks back into the hole well to clear. Milan definitely have some more dangerous options going forward now, with Bacca and Luiz Adriano offering their pace and explosive power up top. The Rossoneri have settled into a good tempo already.
47'
There are plenty of changes at the break. Kiko Casilla, Sergio Ramos, Toni Kroos, Isco and Jese come into the game for Real Madrid, while Carlos Bacca faces La Liga opposition for the first time since leaving Sevilla for Italy.
46'

Isco enters the game and replaces Lucas Vázquez.

T. Kroos enters the game and replaces L. Modrić.
Sergio Ramos enters the game and replaces R. Varane.
K. Honda enters the game and replaces Suso.
We are back underway in the second half in Shanghai! The first-half got a little bit scrappy towards the end, but hopefully 15 minutes of rest will have rejuvenated those who come back out to face the second period.
45' +3
Navas is forced into another save, with the former Levante goalkeeper definitely having a lot more to do than his counterpart. Milan will be pleased with how they've competed thus far, with Niang in particular staking a claim for future inclusion in Mihajlovic's plans.
45' +1
Cristiano tries to dance his way into the Milan penalty box from the right flank, but promptly sees the door shut in his face. The former Sporting forward has contributed plenty of nifty touches and flicks to impress the crowd, but little in terms of game altering quality.
44'
Suso tries his luck from 30 yards out, but the young midfielder sees the ball clatter into a defender. Antonelli then tries to play a one-two with Niang, but the latter is robbed of the ball neatly by Modric. Opportunities continue to elude both sides.
42'
Only a few minutes remain in the first half, with both coaches presuming thinking heavily on potential changes already. Benitez playing Bale in a central area hasn't given the former Spurs man much space to break into, with chemistry being rather low in terms of interplay when approaching the penalty box.
40'
Niang drives down the left-hand side at real pace! With no support in sight, the striker nips inside Pepe and breaks deep into the opposition penalty area. Navas comes out and dives at the feet of the opponent, with the rebounding ball picked up by Varane. The Rossoneri man stays deep and requires a bit of treatment, following a heavy knock to his ankle.
38'
Benzema tries his luck from just inside the box, attempting to send a Danilo cross goalwards. The France international's glancing effort heads way wide of the far post, however, with the former Lyon forward struggling to impose himself on proceedings.
36'
Danilo plays a terrible backpass to Pepe, who has no option but to deflect the ball behind for a Milan cross. Benitez scribbles away at his notepad furiously, with there definitely a lot of talking points from this first half. The Rossoneri whip in the resulting set piece, but it is immediately cleared, before a second delivery into the box ends in Ely being penalised for a push.
34'
A speculative crossfield ball out to the right-hand side bobbles straight out of play from Antonelli, with Milan definitely going off the boil since the 20-minute mark. A few scrappy and sloppy passes have crept into proceedings since the water break. Some players might need to get their focus back.
32'
After a quick water break, owing to the temperature, we are back underway in the first-half action. Cerci tries to drive at the Real Madrid defence immediately, but Danilo steps out intelligently to make a neat tackle.
30'
Real Madrid are yet to test the opposition goalkeeper within the opening half an hour. Benitez's men have defended fairly well, but their approach play when threatening the penalty area just hasn't been good enough. Benzema has been anonymous as a result.
28'
Casemiro finds Vazquez, with the former Espanyol winger putting a clever flick around the corner for Danilo. The Brazilian right-back sets a pass into Bale, who then plays a one-two with Modric, but the return ball from the latter is too heavy and Diego Lopez can collect.
26'
This game continues to be competitive and hard fought, but chances are proving to be few and far between. A long ball in behind the Real Madrid defence looks for Cerci, but Varane uses his pace to get ahead of the former Atletico man and nod a cushioned header back to Navas.
24'
Cristiano is picked out on the left-hand side, before being dumped on the ground by Poli. The Italian midfielder can't believe that he is penalised for a foul, but Real Madrid have a free kick on the periphery of the penalty area at a tight angle. The Portugal international takes it himself and wins a corner.
22'
Benitez is prowling the edge of his technical area, with the opening 20 minutes of this contest not quite going according to plan. Cristiano, Bale and Vazquez have had chances to use their pace, but Los Blancos just can't seem to get their foot on the ball and dominate.
20'
Cerci manages to muster up a shot from the edge of the penalty area, but Navas gets his body behind the ball well. Moments later, the same man whips a cross in towards Niang from the right, but Pepe heads clear. The La Liga outfit have had to defend resolutely so far.
18'
Good defending from Pepe! Suso manages to dig out a low cross from the left-hand side, which is angled towards Cerci! The Portuguese defender steps across well to deny the former Torino forward, conceding a corner in the process. Real Madrid clear their lines, before Modric is felled by De Jong and the counter stops dead.
16'
Niang is cynically brought down, with the young Frenchman causing some problems with his turn of pace. Milan have been able to find a lot of space in between Casemiro, Modric and the Los Blancos' back four, but thus far have been unable to turn it into clear-cut chances. Real Madrid remain dangerous only on the break.
14'
Vazquez is found gallivanting up on the right-hand side, with the young winger able to win a corner for his team as a result. Modric takes, but the Croatia international's delivery is nodded easily clear at the back post! This contest has definitely become more even during the last five minutes.
12'
Real Madrid are looking dangerous on the break, with plenty of pacey options at their disposal, but Milan are exerting more control on proceedings. Cristiano, Bale and Vazquez are trying to link up quickly, with Danilo ever-present while trying to overlap on the right-hand side. The former Porto man looks to be an excellent signing already.
10'
Antonelli dives into a sliding challenge on Vazquez, with the left-back hacking through the former Espanyol wide man's shin. After playing second fiddle for the opening minutes, Real Madrid are finally looking to get onto the front foot. Whenever Cristiano gets on the ball, the crowd roars into action!
8'
Milan are looking the stronger of the two teams at present, with the Serie A outfit seeing the majority of possession and carving out a few chances. Niang is picked out on the edge of the box, before spinning sharply and sending a powerful shot directly at Navas! The Costa Rica international has been the busier of the two shot-stoppers.
6'
Bertolacci releases Niang down the left-hand side, with the Frenchman able to get past Pepe and clip a cross towards the back post! It is too high for Cerci to attack, however, with Navas able to pluck the delivery easily out of the air. Positive stuff from Mihajlovic's side!
4'
Good save from Navas! Antonelli drives past several midfield players before bursting into the opposition penalty with Varane putting just enough pressure on the former Genoa defender to prevent his shot from beating the goalkeeper. Brilliant marauding stuff from the left-back!
2'
Brilliant stuff from Danilo! After a dangerous cross in from the right-hand side, the former Porto defender plays an immediate escape ball into Cristiano. The Portugal star races 40 yards upfield, before seeing a delivery into the box easily blocked. Real Madrid are causing the early problems with their pacey counters.
1'
We are underway in the first half in Shanghai! Milan are in their customary red and black stripes, while Los Blancos are typically in all white!
Hello and welcome to live coverage of the International Champions Cup match between Real Madrid and Milan, as Rafa Benitez's men look to build from their strong showing against the Rossoneri's rivals Inter. We are in Shanghai, as both Sinisa Mihajlovic's side and Los Blancos move on from positive results against the Nerazzurri. Despite this being a pre-season fixture, there is plenty of quality on show.
I'm Simon Harrison and I will be keeping you up to date with all of the action, as Benitez continues to experiment with his possible line-up. Gareth Bale has been the main protagonist of such tests, with the Welshman appearing to have a future as a more central player in Real Madrid's plans this season. Milan's starting 11 is certainly less about the system, but more about giving a range of players minutes ahead of the approaching campaign.
TEAM NEWS: Asier Illarramendi is still injured for Los Blancos, with Benitez chopping and changing a few faces from the team that started against Inter. Alvaro Arbeloa starts at left-back, with Raphael Varane replacing Sergio Ramos at centre-back. Luka Modric will sit deepest in the midfield alongside Casemiro, while Gareth Bale gets an opportunity in the number 10 role. Lucas Vazquez starts out wide right, with Cristiano Ronaldo on the opposite flank, while Karim Benzema features from the off as a lone striker.
TEAM NEWS: Diego Lopez starts in goal against his former club, with young defender Rodrigo Ely being deployed at centre-back alongside experienced partner Alex. Summer signing Andrea Bertolacci starts in midfield with Nigel De Jong and Andrea Poli, with Suso being given a freer role in attacking midfield. Alessio Cerci and Mbaye Niang are starting up front for the Rossoneri.
Real Madrid starting line-up (4-2-3-1): Navas; Danilo, Pepe, Varane, Arbeloa; Modric, Casemiro; Vazquez, Bale, Cristiano; Benzema.
Milan starting line-up (4-3-1-2): Diego Lopez; De Sciglio, Ely, Alex, Antonelli; Bertolacci, De Jong, Poli; Suso; Niang, Cerci.
HALF TIME! The two sides go in goalless at the break, with Milan having narrowly the better opportunities. Real Madrid have been fairly solid defensively, but have struggled to create offensively, with Benitez needing to reshuffle his pack at the interval. Be sure to rejoin us in 10 minutes!
Real Madrid pick up another trophy, in the form of the International Champions Cup! Los Blancos win 10-9 on penalties, after drawing 0-0 in normal time with Milan! That's all that we have time for in China, I've been Simon Harrison and I hope to see you again next time!
