  4. HALF-TIME

    Real Madrid 2-0 Barcelona

    The half-time whistle goes. So far, so good for Real Madrid. Barcelona need a big second half or their unbeaten start in La Liga is over.

  5. Real Madrid 2-0 Barcelona

    Barcelona win a corner, which is played back to Pedri but his shot is blocked.

  6. Real Madrid 2-0 Barcelona

    Barcelona have had more possession and more chances but it's been a clinical showing from Real Madrid.

    They have had four shots, three on target - with those three involved in the two goals.

  7. Real Madrid 2-0 Barcelona

    That was Federico Valverde's third El Clasico goal. He netted at the Nou Camp in October 2020 and in the Spanish Super Cup in... Saudi Arabia.

  8. League of Ireland First Division side Treaty United's heroic FAI Cup journey is over. They suffered a narrow 2-1 defeat at Derry City, who go to the Aviva Stadium final.

  9. Real Madrid 2-0 Barcelona

    Federico Valverde has scored four La Liga goals this season, a personal best. With about three-quarters of the season to go.

    GOAL - Real Madrid 2-0 Barcelona

    Federico Valverde

    Boom.

    Real start this move inside their own half and Vinicius Jr backheels the ball to Rodrygo on the edge of the area. He feeds Ferland Mendy on the left.

    Mendy pulls it back to Federico Valverde, who sets himself and drills a shot into the bottom corner from 22 yards out.

  11. Real Madrid 1-0 Barcelona

    Barca have a good spell of possession, which the home fans do not appeciate. It goes nowhere though. And Luka Modric is fouled for a Real free.

  12. YELLOW CARD

    Real Madrid 1-0 Barcelona

    Real winger Vinicius Jr wants a free-kick, doesn't get one, and gets booked for dissent himself.

  13. Inches away from a wonderful solo goal... by Treaty United's Willie Armshaw against Derry in the FAI Cup semi-final. Derry still lead 2-1 in the final five minutes.

  14. Real Madrid 1-0 Barcelona

    That is only the second goal Barcelona have conceded in La Liga all season.

    The other was by Real Sociedad's Alexander Isak, now at Newcastle, on the second week of the season.

  15. Real Madrid 1-0 Barcelona

    Better spell from Barcelona and Ousmane Dembele heads over Sergi Roberto's cross at the near post.

  16. Real Madrid 1-0 Barcelona

    From the doorstep, I like it.

  17. Real Madrid 1-0 Barcelona

    Robert Lewandowski... two yards out... empty net... MISSES?!

    Pedri plays a ball into Raphinha on the right-hand side of the box and he puts a lovely ball across the six-yard box which Frenkie de Jong can't meet and Lewandowski slides over at the back post. It was a tough chance to be fair. He was stretching.

  18. Real Madrid 1-0 Barcelona

    Barca's Ousmane Dembele manages to stay onside this time but then crosses over everyone's head. Frenkie de Jong keeps it in but the move goes nowhere.

  19. Real Madrid 1-0 Barcelona

    Federico Valverde catches Sergio Busquets, who makes the most of it. Free-kick to Barca in midfield.

    Not a load of proper action bar the goal.
