Forward Gareth Bale will be rested for Real Madrid's final Champions League group game against Malmo on Tuesday. Real have qualified for the last 16 as Group A winners.

Antoine Griezmann has insisted he is happy to stay at Atlético Madrid despite reports José Mourinho has made the France forward his main transfer target for January.

Atletico Madrid and Benfica will have to slug it out at the Stadium of Light in Lisbon to see who emerges top the group and will therefore be more likely to avoid a top team in the last 16 of the Champions League.

Espanyol fans were far from impressed as their side were held to a 1-1 draw by Levante on Monday night at Cornella El-Prat.
