Real Madrid 2-1 Barcelona

Real want a penalty as Eric Garcia catches Rodrygo. It goes to the VAR.

Real bring on Antonio Rudiger and Marco Asensio for Dani Carvajal and Karim Benzema.

So close to an equaliser!

Frenkie de Jong lifts a ball into the box and Sergi Roberto's header is deflected into the path of Ansu Fati, whose acrobatic volley goes just wide.

Ferran Torres (two goals, one assist) has been directly involved in three goals in three appearances in El Clasico.

Barcelona have scored six goals via substitutes in La Liga this season, more than any other team.

Real respond to that goal by bringing on Rodrygo for Vinicius Jr on the wing.

Barca bring on midfielder Franck Kessie for Pedri in their final sub.

Gavi has a crack for Barca from 25 yards out and it's deflected wide. It's been the young subs who have done the most of them.

It's not been the feistiest Clasico thinking about it. Only three yellow cards.

Barca sub Gavi is booked as he fouls Aurelien Tchouameni to stop a potential Real counter.

Standing ovation for Real ledge Luka Modric as he's replaced by Eduardo Camavinga in midfield.

So close. Real play themselves into trouble and Barca sub Ansu Fati curls a shot just wide from 20 yards. Inches wide. Their best chance of the second half by miles.

Great tackle by Aurelien Tchouameni to deny Barcelona around the box.

Barcelona want a penalty as Robert Lewandowski goes past Eder Militao and is bumped over by Dani Carvajal. Was there enough contact though? Referee says no.
