    Goalscorer Karim Benzema departs to a chorus of jeers. A job well done by the French striker. On comes Jese to link up with Cristiano Ronaldo who has been unusually quiet. There's still time...

    "First roll of the substitution dice from Luis Enrique. Arda Turan has been solid but not spectacular since signing from Atletico Madrid, but he's certainly capable of producing magic. Now would be a good time."

    I once saw Gerard Pique score for Manchester United's reserves at...Northwich Victoria. Now he's scored in El Clasico.

    I love this game.

    Around 20 minutes remaining. This could go either way. Gareth Bale tests Claudio Bravo with a fierce effort but its right down the keeper's throat.

  8. 'Marcelo key to equaliser'published at 20:57 British Summer Time 2 April 2016

    "Crazy that a left-back can be a team's attacking catalyst, but Marcelo does it so often for his team - his run was the key for that goal."

    Who is going to win this?

    Brilliant tactics by Zinedine Zidane in his first El Clasico as manager.

    This has been a poor domestic season by Real's standards but the visitors have done a fine job in the Nou Camp so far.

    Brilliant response by Real.

    A stunning acrobatic effort by Karim Benzema from close range silences the crowd.

    Marcelo to Kroos whose hits Alba's heel with a cross and it flicks up for Benzema to find the net with a quality overhead kick.

    Hands up who tipped a defender to get the first goal in a game full of brilliant strikers?

    Moments before Pique's goal Barca went close as Lionel Messi produced a moment of sublime skill chipping from the edge of the area and forcing Keylor Navas into a wonderful save that produced the corner for the goal.

    "Pique will love that goal, absolutely love it. He's an expert at winding up Real Madrid fans on social media and is therefore their number one enemy, even booing him when he plays for Spain."

    Corner to Barca. Pepe is marking Gerard Pique but the big Barca defender manages to lose him and nod home from close range. Bang! Barca are ahead and the Nou Camp erupts.

    "Barca need to remember to play the game, not the referee. Quite a few whines and moans in the early stages of the second half, they look distracted. Keep focus on what matters."

    Is Sergio Ramos pressing the self destruct button?

    The Real defender, who can count himself fortunate to still be on the pitch, sends an elbow into Dani Alves while defending a Barca corner. 

    Jeers all around the Nou Camp but the referee again waves play on.

    "Barca are all over the ref asking for Ramos to be sent off for the foul on Suarez. To be fair, though, it looked like Suarez knew exactly what he was doing and really forced Ramos to foul him."

    Barcelona 0-0 Real Madrid

    Sergio Ramos is the luckiest man inside the Nou Camp.

    He's already been booked when he brings down Luis Suarez just outside the Real area. It's blatant. It's illegal. The referee waves play on.

  20. 'Bale looking dangerous'published at 20:36 British Summer Time 2 April 2016

    Barcelona 0-0 Real Madrid

    Andy West
    Spanish football writer at the Nou Camp

    "The first was a half of two halves: Barca totally dominant initially, but Real well back into it later on. Gareth Bale looks particularly dangerous - his powerful running has been unsettling the home defence."
