  1. GREAT SAVE!published at 21:44 Greenwich Mean Time 22 March 2015

    Brilliant! Brilliant stuff from Jordi Alba to play a one-two with Lionel Messi and streak into the box. Messi's return pass is perfect but Iker Casillas spreads himself well to turn it away. That really would have killed it.

  2. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 21:42 Greenwich Mean Time 22 March 2015

    Another change for Barca sees Neymar replaced by Rafinha.

  3. CLOSE!published at 21:42 Greenwich Mean Time 22 March 2015

    Good feet from Luis Suarez as he steps past two men on the left of the area and drills it across goal - it's a few feet wide and also just in front of the men in the middle.

    "Barca will kick themselves if they don't win this considering the chances they had at 2-1, but they're in for a nervy final 10 now in what could be Xavi's last Clasico."

    Gareth Bale has been very very quiet in the second half. He may be on the end of some more hostile press tomorrow.

  6. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 21:38 Greenwich Mean Time 22 March 2015

    Legend for legend as Xavi replaces Andres Iniesta. This is likely to be Xavi's final El Clasico. What a player. What an ovation. He takes the armband too.

    Real also make a sub as Jese comes on in place of Isco.

    Great save! Barcelona keeper Claudio Bravo away to his left with one hand to turn away Karim Benzema's doubly-deflected strike which was creeping in. Top stuff.

    Lionel Messi into the area, turns his man and shoots but it's blocked away - Barca are pretty dominant now and a third goal would surely sew this one up.

  9. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 21:34 Greenwich Mean Time 22 March 2015

    Barca may try and hold what they've got. Sergio Busquets is on for Ivan Rakitic. Huge roar for Busquets, who will certainly get booked in the last 15...

  10. CLOSE!published at 21:33 Greenwich Mean Time 22 March 2015

    So close! Lionel Messi backs the Real defence up and curls one from 20 yards, it looks in all the way but shades the post! Wonderful effort. Moments later Luis Suarez lays it to Messi, he feeds Neymar who again should score but slices wide.

    Everyone who was telling me they'd have Eden Hazard over Neymar before kick-off - you're right...

  11. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 21:31 Greenwich Mean Time 22 March 2015

    Real make the first change and it's a fairly unusual one, Raphael Varane replaces Pepe.

  12. Postpublished at 21:30 Greenwich Mean Time 22 March 2015

    Spanish football writer Andy West at the Nou Camp

    "Space is really opening up on the break now for Barca, and with their front three that is very dangerous - as Neymar showed with his brilliant run. More goals in this for sure."

    Dani Alves into the book for tripping Isco. Moments earlier Neymar had once again beat two men with a mazy run. He can really move. This second half has been poor though.

    Bookings

    Into the last 20 minutes. Losing track of who's been booked? Me too.

  15. Postpublished at 21:26 Greenwich Mean Time 22 March 2015

    The good and the bad of Neymar! A wonderful run from halfway, he beats two men for pace and trickery but blazes over the top when he had Luis Suarez on the outside. You've got to pass!

  16. Postpublished at 21:24 Greenwich Mean Time 22 March 2015

    Not much football being played now. It's very stop-start with a foul every few seconds.

  18. YELLOW CARDpublished at 21:23 Greenwich Mean Time 22 March 2015

    Make that 10 bookings. Andres Iniesta in the book.

  19. YELLOW CARDpublished at 21:22 Greenwich Mean Time 22 March 2015

    This is degenerating into an ugly game now as Isco is now booked. That's nine bookings. Sort it out lads, come on.
