  1. Goodnight

    That's the end of this live page now. Thanks for joining me today and joining in the debate.

    El Clasico is not as good as it used to be, but it's always worth a follow.

    Read our match report here.

    Come back tomorrow for Portsmouth v Arsenal in the FA Cup.

    Duncan McIver: Convinced Mariano had two touches. Shot against his own left foot, which looped it over Ter Stegen. Got a €10 bet with my son. Please prove me right. Hala Madrid

    Sorry...

    ...but each time you have the ball just counts as one touch for the stats. So you could touch the ball 20 times in a dribble - but it counts as just one touch.

    Real Madrid 2-0 Barcelona

    Barcelona had scored in each of their previous 12 La Liga away matches against Real Madrid. This was their first blank at the Bernabeu in the league since 22 October 2006 - also a 2-0 defeat.

  4. Post update

    A Brazilian has scored in El Clasico in every calendar year for the past decade bar 2016.

  5. Post update

    Probably a decent result for the title race as a neutral. Barca would have gone five points clear with a win.

    Mikela0000: Messi showing his age? top scorer in goals and assists this season? trouble is, absolutely nobody is doing anything else in this team...

  7. Post update

    Time to play Mariano a bit more? He scored twice in his previous La Liga appearance - a 3-2 win over Villarreal on 5 May.

    He did play two Spanish Super Cup games this season, but only a total of 44 minutes.
