Ambitious from Memphis Depay as he turns and shoots well over the bar from about 30 yards out.

I wonder if we'll see Sergio Aguero later on today.

Another chance that wouldn't have counted. Karim Benzema runs onto Rodrygo's reverse ball and slams a shot into the side-netting from a tight angle.

Then the flag is up.

Free-kick to Barca on the wing, caught by Thibaut Courtois.

Real Madrid try to counter but end up getting forced backwards.

Sergino Dest has been playing on the right side of a front three recently. He as a right-back last season.

The biggest chance of the game by a billion miles.

Memphis Depay surges forward and squares it to Ansu Fati, who can't control but it pops out to Sergino Dest, unmarked near the penalty spot, and he skies it.

A ridiculous waste of everyone's time.

Vinicius Jr is sent through by Karim Benzema. He's clearly offside but play goes on. He rounds Marc-Andre ter Stegen but goes too wide, he cuts inside the keeper again as defenders try to stop him and has a shot blocked. And then the flag goes up.

If he loses this match, Barcelona’s Ronald Koeman will become only the second manager in La Liga history to lose his first three Clasico matches, after Ireland's Patrick O'Connell between 1935 and 1940, also with Barcelona.

Vinicius Jr wants a penalty for Real Madrid but referee says no.

He beats Oscar Mingueza on the wing, cuts into the box, beats Jordi Alba and hits the deck.

There wasn't much contact.

Carlo Ancelotti has not won any of his five away games against Barcelona (D2 L3), losing on both of his visits as Real manager.

Only one Real Madrid coach lost his first three away games in El Clasico history - Leo Beenhakker in the late 1980s.

I miss the classic Clasicos tbh.

Barca keeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen has touched the ball twice in over 15 minutes.

Barca launch a quick counter-attack with Gavi playing a lovely ball in midfield. Frenkie de Jong's cross further forward is over Gavi's head and then Sergino Dest commits a foul while trying to salvage the situation.

Casemiro heads wide from the corner - but it's another corner so there must have been a deflection somewhere.

Vinicius Jr gets in behind Barca's defence for the first time on the left wing as he runs onto David Alaba's pass. Eric Garcia gets back in time to block his cross. Corner.

Chop. First free-kick of the game as Memphis Depay side-steps Lucas Vazquez and gets brought down.

The home fans want a yellow card but none comes.

Barca go backwards with the free-kick.

This is quite sloppy so far. Lucas Vazquez wins the ball off Memphis Depay on the corner of the box but it ends up back with Barca.

A few misplaced passes so far from both teams. Real keeper Thibaut Courtois plays the ball into touch.

Vinicius Jr and Rodrygo play a one-two deep into their own half - they're Real Madrid's two wingers - and the move goes nowhere.

Both defences have early work to do. Eder Militao stops the ball reaching Memphis Depay and then Gerard Pique stops Rodrygo mid-flow.
