    FT: RM 2-0 Barcelona!! Real Madrid claim a deserved win thanks to a Pique own goal and Mariano goal in stoppage time! Barca were the more dangerous side in the first period, but RM were much better in the second period, they got good fortune with the first goal and then Mariano killed things off as Barca looked for a leveller. RM worthy winners and they end the night top of La Liga. That's all from us, thanks for your company and hope to see you soon!

  • 45'
    HT: RM 0-0 Barcelona!! Half-time at the Bernabeu after no added time! The game started slowly with RM playing more direct, but then Barca were the more dangerous side as the half went along. Griezmann off target and two saves by Courtois to deny Arthur and Messi have been the best chances so far. Kroos has come the closest for RM, but Zidane's side have lacked that killer touch in the final third. Back for more in a bit!
  • 45'
    Casemiro is getting treatment after a collision. He's up now though.
  • 43'
    Courtois and poor finishing are keeping this at 0-0 at the moment. Barca look the more dangerous outfit.

    Vinicius runs brilliantly on the counter and then spoils it with a dreadful pass aimed at Isco which goes in a completely different direction.
  • 40'
    Semedo!!!! Barca's threaten down the far side through Semedo, Vidal sees his shot blocked and then Barca make a hash of it.
  • 38'
    Messi!!! Courtois has to make another save to deny Messi in one on one situation after a superb Busquets pass.
  • 37'
    Real go on the attack and Vinicius' effort is very tame straight at Ter Stegen! He used all the energy on the run!
  • 34'
    Arthur!!!! The chance of the match!!! Griezmann passes to Arthur who runs onto the ball, he tries to chip the diving Courtois, he can't get it high enough and the Belgian knocks it behind!
  • 33'
    Semedo with a dangerous move down the far side and it is blocked by the defender.
  • 31'
    Benzema is penalised for a foul in the box from Marcelo's cross. It was a foul, but Alba was also keen to go to ground.
  • 30'
    That was dangerous!!! Vidal runs towards goal, he gives it to Griezmann and then Messi's effort at Courtois was very weak. It was his right foot.
  • 29'
    Kroos fires over a RM counter from distance!
  • 26'
    Valverde's cross goes across the face of the area and it beats everyone.

  • 21'
    How did he miss that? Messi, Griezmann and Alba combine beautifully, Alba from this near side feeds Griezmann who blazes over!!
  • 21'
    Pique!!! What an intervention!!! RM counter and Isco's cross is cleared by the Catalan!
  • 20'
    What was Courtois doing there? Griezmann is a fraction away from charging down the clearance!
Card

Yellow card

a Barcelona
  • 19'
    Carvajal and Alba both see yellow for nothing more than minor shoving. Not even enough to call it handbags. Lahoz runs in like crazy and flashes his card at both of them. Never a yellow.
  • 17'
    Griezmann and De Jong play a neat one-two, but it ends with nothing.
  • 16'
    RM attack Semedo's side once again and this time the Barca man dispossesses Vinicius of the ball.
  • 15'
    Kroos!!! Barca lose the ball from Ter Stegen's pass, they work it to Vinicius who gives it to Kroos and the German fires off target!
  • 14'
    Isco can't get a shot off and then an RM strike is blocked 30 seconds later. Zidane's men have started the brighter here.
  • 12'
    An RM cross is overhit and then the cross into the box is comfortably headed away by Pique.
  • 10'
    Vinicius has his name taken for a cynical pullback from behind on Semedo just inside RM territory.
  • 10'
    RM target the Barca right end and Marcelo's attempted cutback from the byline is harmless. The angle was too tight.
  • 9'
    Lots of passing again by Barca, but it leads to nothing.
  • 7'
    The corner is taken short, Pique heads the ball in straight to Benzema who volleys well over. Only a 1/4 chance really.
  • 6'
    Vinicius down the far side gets a corner off Pique. The home side are playing more direct.
  • 5'
    It's a quiet start here up to now. Some good passing especially from Barca but nothing threatening.
  • 2'
    Barca counter and worked the ball but then De Jong takes an eternity to look for the right pass and the chances goes. Messi and Vidal had combined earlier in the move.
  • 1'
    Isco wins a corner for the hosts.
