54'

WHAT A SAVE FROM TER STEGEN! The Barcelona goalkeeper makes a reflex save from Benzema, who glanced a header towards goal from a Marcelo cross. What an astonishing stop!

53'

That was a poor call from the linesman. Iniesta plays a long ball to Alba, with the flag raised, but replays show that the Barcelona full back was in fact onside. Not the first bad call tonight.

52'

Real Madrid have started the second half as they started the first half - on top. They have come out with renewed energy and drive. Barcelona are having to dig deep to keep them out.

51'

50'

TER STEGEN MAKES THE STOP! Kroos takes aim from the edge of the Barcelona box, but the German goalkeeper dives to his right to turn the ball around the post for a corner.

49'

As already mentioned, Casemiro is on very thin ice at the start of this second half. Barcelona, and Messi in particular, will be targeting the Brazilian who is already on a yellow card.

48'

PIQUE HAD TO MAKE THE INTERCEPTION! Asensio surged forward and played the ball out to Carvajal, who got the low cross into the box, but Pique stopped it from reaching Benzema.

47'

46'

No changes from either team at the half time interval. Some suggested that Zidane might take off Casemiro given that he probably should have been sent off for fouling Messi.

2nd Half

45'

The second half is under way in El Clasico! It's 1-1 between Real Madrid and Barcelona.

What did you make of the first half at the Santiago Bernabeu? Does Zidane need to take off Casemiro so that he doesn't get sent off? Are Barcelona now the favourites to win this? Tweet me!

End of 1st Half

48'

HALF TIME: Real Madrid 1-1 Barcelona. The dynamic of this match has shifted with the Messi equaliser. Real Madrid started on top, but Barcelona ended the half in the ascendency.

47'

NAVAS GETS AWAY WITH ONE! The Real Madrid goalkeeper gets caught under the ball from a corner kick, but Messi puts his volley wide at the back post. That was a sitter by his standards.

46'

Just two minutes of stoppage time to be played at the end of the first half.

45'

44'

Alba got a connection on the Suarez cross into the area, but the Barcelona left back just couldn't direct it on target. He sliced his shot and so Navas wasn't too concerned by it.

43'

It was strange that Bale started this game in the first place. He clearly wasn't fit and Zidane must have seen that in training. Real Madrid will be in better shape with Asensio on now.

42'

MESSI STRIKES WIDE! Barcelona are on top at the moment, with Messi shooting wide of the target. His effort appeared to take a touch off Carvajal, but a goal kick is awarded. Strange decision.

41'

40'

There's a booking for Umtiti. Ronaldo was brought down by the Barcelona defender. Easy call for the referee.

Indeed, there's the enforced change from Real Madrid and Asensio comes on to replace the injured Bale. That's a little surprising. I think most expected to see Isco come off the bench.
