Madrid: A late equaliser from Antoine Griezmann earned Atletico Madrid a 1-1 draw against city rivals Real Madrid at the Bernabeu.

During a tense opening 45 minutes Cristiano Ronaldo saw his effort headed off the line and Griezmann forced a good save from Keylor Navas.

Real broke the deadlock in the second half when Pepe nodded in a free-kick from Toni Kroos. However, five minutes from the end, Griezmann struck to ensure both teams shared the spoils.
