Barcelona have started this second half very quickly. It looks like Enrique has told them to quicken the tempo of their play and that has caught Real Madrid cold to a certain extent.
47'
RAMOS SHOULD BE OFF! The centre back goes into the back of Suarez, with the Real Madrid captain already on a booking. The referee keeps his cards in his pockets, though.

The second half is under way at the Camp Nou! It's still goalless between Barcelona and Real Madrid in El Clasico.

What did you make of the first half at the Camp Nou? Should Barcelona have been awarded a penalty kick? Does Zidane need to make any tactical tweaking? Tweet me!
46'
HALF-TIME: Barcelona 0-0 Real Madrid. The scoreline is level, and this hasn't been the most exhilarating of Clasicos so far. But on the balance of play, Barcelona have probably edged it.
45'
BENZEMA SKIES HIS SHOT WELL OVER! Carvjal's cross finds the French striker, who has dropped off his marker. But on the bounce he manages to send his shot way over the target.
44'
43'
THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN A SCREAMER! Neymar's cross finds Alves coming on to the ball on the edge of the box, but the Brazilian's first time drive flashes just over the target.
42'
Ronaldo cares about this one, so much so that he is tracking back as the last line of defence as Barcelona look to find a way in behind Real Madrid. You don't see that very often.
41'
This is a strange tactic. Bale has now twice reverted to the strategy of a long throw from the left side. Has the world's most expensive player ever turned into Real Madrid's Rory Delap?
40'
Real Madrid are certainly having more joy on the counter attack now. And most of that success is coming through Bale, one way or another. The Welsh winger is playing well.
39'
Benzema hasn't done much so far in his role as the central striker in Real Madrid's system, and Zidane takes the chance during a break of play to speak to the French forward.
38'
Bale is being afforded the most freedom of any Real Madrid player at the moment. Maybe it's because Alba is so attacking, but he has lots of space down the right channel.

Gareth Bale lets fly (it ended up in the crowd).

36'
Real Madrid will need Modric to be in top form if they are to gain any kind of control in this match. The Croatian is the man who makes them tick from his position in the centre of the pitch.
35'
I just get the feeling that Real Madrid are growing in stature with their use of the ball around the midfield, but the danger is that they allow Barcelona space to exploit on the counter attack.
34'
33'
For the first time in the match Real Madrid take the chance to keep hold of the ball and calm down the tempo of the pressure they have faced in the opening half hour. They need more control.
32'
Ronaldo takes the freekick about 20 yards out for a foul by Mascherano on Bale, but he balloons it over the bar. It's about time someone just gave the ball to Bale for these set pieces.
