Barcelona have had three shots on target - more than they managed in the December Clasico.

Barcelona are well and truly on top now. Nelson Semedo goes flying down the right - and leaves Sergio Ramos on the turf. He crosses to Arturo Vidal, whose shot is excellently blocked by Raphael Varane.

Lionel Messi's biggest chance of the game. He's played in with a ball over the top but Raphael Varane puts him under pressure and Thibaut Courtois saves.

Arturo Vidal is playing behind the Barcelona forwards and he's been involved in most of their good moves so far. He finds Antoine Griezmann, whose shot is blocked.

Real break but Vinicius Jr's shot is saved - he had better options in the box.

Shompy: When Braithwaite comes on, we’ll be able to confirm the fact that these are the weakest El Clasico teams since sliced chorizo.

Just seen a replay of that possible Jordi Alba foul on Fede Valverde and I've got to say, I've seen players booked for less.

Huge chance for Barcelona and a great save from Thibaut Courtois. Arthur runs from the halfway line, brushing off Toni Kroos for pace, but the keeper comes off his line and makes himself big to deny the Brazilian.

Real fans booing again. This time they think Jordi Alba committed a foul - which could have brought a second yellow card - but the referee says play on.

Real Madrid fans boo as Karim Benzema is deemed to have fouled Jordi Alba as they battled to get onto Marcelo's cross.

Brilliant pass by Arthur into Arturo Vidal, he finds Antoine Griezmann, who feeds Lionel Messi and the Argentine's shot from a tight angle is held by Thibaut Courtois.

Brilliant defending by Casemiro to stop Lionel Messi, but his team-mates give Barca the ball back. They can't make the most of it and Real counter with Toni Kroos firing over a shot from outside the box.

Brilliant play by Real right-back Dani Carvajal. He plays a one-two and whips in a wonderfully tempting cross but Karim Benzema can't get his head onto it at the back post.

Penta: Three yellow cards in 19 mins. Ramos might as well make his way to the showers now.

Prince: This match has red card(s) written all over it

Dan: Barca will be fuming if Alba gets another yellow. I didn't realise it was a bookable offence to be pushed in the chest by an opponent.

Sergio Ramos hacks the ball out of play.

Now they're back on their own half.

Probably two minutes now. But they're not going anywhere with it.

The Bernabeu faithful are jeering this minute-long spell of Barcelona possession.

Isco is making his 200th La Liga appearance for Real Madrid. He has not scored or set up a goal in his eight Clasicos before today.

Barca's first chance. Jordi Alba squares the ball for Antoine Griezmann, who is standing near the penalty spot, but shoots over the bar.

Real Madrid escape just. Antoine Griezmann puts pressure on Real keeper Thibaut Courtois, who gets too involved in a passing move, and the keeper just about kicks it away.
