He was assisted by Koke with a cross following a corner.However, Antoine Griezmann (Atlético de Madrid) converts the penalty with a left footed shot to the centre of the goal, to put the game within reach.
Real have beaten Atletico in the Champions League in the past three seasons, including in the 2014 and 2016 finals.
Before the game, Atletico midfielder Saul Niguez says that his side's task is "very difficult", particularly given Real's run of scoring in their past 60 games.
"We can't go crazy. We need to go step by step, we need to keep a clean sheet," he said.
"If they score the tie is even more difficult, but a goal in the first half would give us a lot of strength and could make them nervous."
