Near misses, a disallowed goal, a red card, a dramatic winner and the end of a long unbeaten run. El Clasico lived up to its billing as the world's greatest club game after a quiet first half.

Real take the honours against the odds but will Barcelona go on and wrap up the La Liga title? 

Many thanks for your company. Until next time...

Both Barcelona and Real Madrid turn their attention to the Champions League quarter-finals next week.

While Barca entertain Atletico Madrid on Tuesday, Real are away in Germany against Wolfsburg on Wednesday.

Barcelona defender Gerard Pique: "We didn't know how to play a man up and it was difficult to control the game. We have to keep going. You can't always win and we are in a good position in all three competitions."

Some more of your dream forward lines.

Barca are still firm favourites to secure the title despite this result.

Their last seven games are: Real Sociedad (away), Valencia (home), Deportivo La Coruna (away), Sporting Gijon (home), Real Betis (away), Espanyol (home), Granada (away).

Mike Crew:, external Well that was an unexpected turnaround. Second half much better.

Michael Smith:, external Let them have that one, they're not going to win any silverware this season!

Rizpey:, external What a result by Real Madrid. It is down to Zidane and the fact that the Real Madrid's players wanted it more.

Barcelona's previous defeat was on 3 October. That's six months ago. Even more of an achievement by Real considering they were down to 10 men when they scored the winner.

What does this result do for the La Liga table?

There will be celebrations all over Madrid, with Atletico now just six points behind the leaders with seven games remaining.

Real are a further point behind with seven games to go.

Time for a late twist?

Mike Crew:, external Why on earth was that disallowed?

"Well that sets up the rest of the season nicely. La Liga should still be Barca's, but Real will have renewed confidence in their ability to land the Champions League. And if Barca's confidence is rattled, they don't have long to restore it: Atletico Madrid visit in the Champions League on Tuesday."

El Clasico never fails to deliver. And this is right up there with the best of them in terms of drama.

Real Madrid snatch victory after being reduced to 10 men to end Barcelona's 39-match unbeaten run.

Who would have thought?

Neymar with a goal bound shot. It's blocked.

Real Madrid are moments away from a famous - and unlikely - win. They're playing down the clock and Gareth Bale performs the slowest walk to the touchline on record as he is replaced by Lucas Vazquez.

Two minutes of additional time.

"Well, Barca got out of jail there. Very, very harsh decision on Bale. The first idea any of us had that it was disallowed was when ewe saw the yellow card coming out for dissent."

Sergio Ramos been living on borrowed time and the referee's patience finally snaps as the Real defender lunges at Luis Suarez. He's fortunate to have lasted this long.

Huge drama. Gareth Bale has the ball in the back of the net and wheels away in celebration after meeting Cristiano Ronaldo's cross.

But Real's celebrations are ended after the referee consults his assistant for a push on Alba.

Luis Suarez drills just wide from a tight angle. That was close.
