  1. Sergio Busquets apologises as his through-ball to Lionel Messi is overhit and Thibaut Courtois races out of his box to clear.

  2. Sergio Ramos has scored 10 La Liga goals in 2020, the first time he has reached double figures in one year.

  3. There was a VAR check I think for a Barcelona penalty as Sergio Ramos cleared the ball off Raphael Varane's arm but it's not given.

    Play resumes.

  4. Close for Barcelona. Lionel Messi finds Jordi Alba with a clever ball. His cross finds Philippe Coutinho, whose shot is blocked.

  5. Barca have a second corner as Sergio Ramos heads behind Lionel Messi's cross.

    And now a third.

  6. SUBSTITUTION

    Luka Modric does come on... but for the injured Federico Valverde.

  7. Get Involved

    Simon Ngugi: Casemiro looks disinterested today. Luka Modric o-clock?

  8. Fine footwork from Philippe Coutinho to lose a couple of defenders but his shot is blocked for a corner, Barca's first of the game.

  9. What can Barcelona do now? They have two of the most expensive players ever in Antoine Griezmann and Ousmane Dembele on the bench. No imminent changes though.

  10. goal

    GOAL - Barcelona 1-2 Real Madrid

    Sergio Ramos

    No Panenka this time as Sergio Ramos blasts his penalty down low. Neto guesses the right way but can't keep it out. It wasn't right in the corner but a goal's a goal.

  11. PENALTY TO REAL MADRID

    The ref gives the penalty for Clement Lenglet's shirt pull on Sergio Ramos.

  12. The referee Juan Martínez Munuera is going over to the screen to have a look.

  13. VAR

    Video Assistant Referee

    Sergio Ramos goes down in the box and wants a penalty but he made the most of a Clement Lenglet shirt pull.

    There is a VAR check though.

  14. Real's first attack in a while as Vinicius Jr picks out Karim Benzema, whose shot is high and wide.

  15. Famous last words but it feels like a Barcelona goal is coming. They're dominating the ball and probing constantly.

  16. Barcelona go close again. Ansu Fati crosses for Philippe Coutinho at the back post but his header is into the side-netting. If there had been fans in the ground, some of them would have thought that was in...

  17. Get Involved

    Daniel Cochlin: Excellent first half it may have been, @EmlynBegley, but let’s be honest you’d much rather be watching Oxford-Swindon than this

    Of course, who wouldn't? Sadly English football's version of El Clasico was called off because of Covid cases at Swindon.

  18. Ansu Fati is sooo close to a second. Lionel Messi picks him out on the right. He cuts in behind Sergio Ramos and drags his shot just wide of the far post. Messi is annoyed because he wanted a return ball.

  19. Real work the ball across to Casemiro but he drills his 30-yard shot well wide.

  20. Lionel Messi beats Real Madrid right-back Lucas Vazquez and then tries to go past him again but this time the substitute wins the ball and clears.
