3 minutes added on
Barcelona 1-3 Real Madrid
Pick that out! Real counter and Isco finds Asensio who duly fires into the top corner with a little help from the barfrom the left-hand side of the box. What a goal.
GOAL REAL!
Asensio!
Substitution Real
Vazquez came on for Bale amid all that excitement.
Ronaldo is sent off!
Wow. What a couple of minutes. Ronaldo removed his shirt to celebrate that goal and he is now booked for diving. Might have been slightly harsh but Ronaldo is off for an early bath.
Barcelona 1-2 Real Madrid
Cometh the hour cometh the the man! Ronaldo gives Real the lead. He is put in down the left and knowing that he doesn't possess the pace of his youth to outstrip his marker he simply cuts inside and fires into the top corner from the edge of the box. Great goal.
GOAL REAL!
Ronaldo
The game is really opening up here
Denis Suarez fires wide but the flag was up anyway.
Barcelona 1-1 Real Madrid
GOAL BARCA!
Messi send Navas the wrong way from the spot and we're level.
Penalty Barca!
Navas is ajudged to have brought down Suarez unfairly just seconds after making two great saves. Oh Luis he's nowhere near you.
The pressure is mounting on Real here
Great chance Barca!
Busquets fires over when unmarked and six yards out. you have to score those.
Denis Suarez has a go
But his effort is easily saved by Navas.
Ronaldo goal disallowed
It's a tight call but Ronaldo is ruled offside as he beats Ter Stegen at his near post. Just seconds earlier the German made a good save to deny Marcelo.
Audacious from Ronaldo
He shapes to try an overhead kick after a cross from the left but he doesn't catch it cleanly.
Both teams make changes
Kovacic is replaced bt Asensio for Real and Iniesta comes off for Sergi Roberto for Barca.
Varane almost scores an own-goal
Suarez gets to the byline down the left and his fierce low cross is ballooned over his own bar by Varane.
Suarez looks to be one-on-one
But he is denied by the offside flag.
Better from Pique
He blocks Ronaldo's shot away for a corner.
Suarez goes close!
Navas does well to keep out Luis Suarez's header.
Here he comes
Ronaldo comes on for Karim Bemzema. Denis Suarez comes on for Deulofeu for Barca.
Busquets is booked
Almost 2-0!
Benzema crosses low from the left, it comes to Carvajal at the far post but he is denied by a fantastic block by Alba.
How are Barca not level!?
Vidal overlaps down the right and his cross is inches away from being turned in by Messi. Deulofeu picks up the ball at the back post and fires a cross-shot towards the far corner with Messi again just unable to connect.
Barcelona 0-1 Real Madrid
Marcelo drives a low cross across the box and as Pique looks to cut it out he can only guide the ball past a helpless Ter Stegen. Real lead.
GOAL REAL!
Pique O.G:
1 - Gerard Pique is the first Barcelona player to score an own goal in El Clasico in the 21st century (all competitions). Misfortune. pic.twitter.com/qExt3f5Ewa

Messi goes down in the box
But the referee is unmoved.
Real get us back underway
The players are back on the pitch
HT: Barcelona 0-0 Real Madrid
It's goalless here at half-time, with very little to chose from between the two sides.
Half-time!
That's it for the first half here at the Camp Nou.
Bale heads over
Carvajal's cross from the right is met by Bale at the far post but he can only head well over.
Poor delivery from Alba
A flowing move from Barca falls apart as the left-back can't beat the first man.
Carvajal goes into the book now
He catches Iniesta late and is rightly booked.
Messi goes into the book
A spot of retribution on Casemiro for that earlier challenge. Messi loses the ball and dives in to try to win it back and can only foul the Brazilian.
Last-ditch defending from both sides
Alba looks to counter following a Real corner but Real eventually regain the ball. At the other end, Pique has to be alert to prod the ball back to Ter Stegen with Benzema looking to race clear.
Chance Real!
Isco drives down the left and Vidal can't stop him. He pulls the ball back to Bale on the edge of box but his effort is tipped over by Ter Stegen. The resulting corner comes to nothing.
Barca pressing hard now
Rakitic and Suarez combine before Carvajal makes a timely interceptions to put the ball behind for a corner.
Good defending from Real
Iniesta rolls back the years to play in Alba down the right but his low cross to the near post is blocked out for a corner by a combination of Navas and Kovacic.
Marcelo with a dangerous ball in
But Jordi Alba does well to clear it at the back post.
Yellow card for Pique
The Barca man attempts to punch a corner into the net and is rightly booked. It's not big and it's not clever...
Messi hits it
But it goes just over. Navas always had it covered.
Dangerous free kick for Barca
Bale brings Messi down on the left-hand side of the Real box.
Yellow card
Casemiro goes into the book for a foul on Messi, with players from both sides immediately surrounding the player. Could get fiesty this one.
Half-hearted penalty appeal from Barca
A few muted shouts of handball as Carvajal blocks a cross.
Great feet from Isco
Quality stuff from the man they magic. He shows good footwork in the box to work a shooting chance but he can only find the side netting.
Barca attack
Vidal launches a raid down the right but his pull-back is between Messi and Suarez and Kovacic clears.
Excellent from Umtiti
Bale looked to be in behind with just Ter Stegen to beat but Umtiti dealt with the danger, easing him off the ball and winning his side a free kick.
Good defending Ramos
He comes across to clear with Messi loitering with intent nearby.
Pretty cautious from both sides so far
Understandable, this is a two-legged affair after all.
Chance Barca!
Suarez latches onto a ball over the top but his first touch takes him away from goal slightly and his left-footed effort is saved comfortably by Navas. A warning sign from Barca.
Good pressing from Real
Zinedine Zidane's side are pressing high and making life difficult for Barca as they look to play out from the back.
Barca win a corner
Alba forced Carvjal into putting the ball behind. The corner comes in an Umtiti makes a nuisance of himself but it is cleared by Real.
A confident start from Real
Marcelo is offering a good outlet on the left.
Isco is looking up for it today
He's has a few nice touches in tight spaces already.
Ambitious from Isco!
Ter Stegen's pass out from the back is blocked into the Spaniard's path 35 yards out and he tries to chip the German but the Barca 'keeper backpedals and pouches it easily.
We're off!
Barca get us underway!
We're all set here at the Camp Nou
Here come the teams!
Deulofeu's first 'Clásico'
The Barca academy product is set for an experience that all youngsters dream of, just a year after being sidelined by Everton. Will he be able to make an impact tonight?
Just over 15 minutes to go here!

The two sides head out to warm-up
The goalkeepers are already out on the pitch. Ter Stegen starts for Barca in place of Cillessen after the German's fine performance against Real during Barca's pre-season tour.

Barca haven't won at the Bernabeu in two and a half years
Does that put added pressure on Ernesto Valverde's side ahead of the second leg?
Ronaldo returns to the bench
The Portuguese will no doubt feature at some point tonight but he once against starts on the bench.
Pre-match build-up
Barcelona come into the game off the back of an unbeaten pre-season. Whilst Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos will play in his 6th Spanish Super Cup.
Everything is set at the Camp Nou for the first 'Clásico' of the new season
Ignoring that pre-season publicity stunt in Miami. This is the real thing for both sides, no-one wants to lose this one. The Supercopa can't be won in the first leg, but it can certainly be lost.
