Ronaldo was very close to threading through a pass for Benzema there, but there was just a little too much weight on the ball and the Barcelona defence were given the chance to clear.

A chant of 'Viva Espana' rings around the Santiago Bernabeu. Of course, that's a reminder that this game isn't just about football. The rivalry between the two clubs is rooted in politics.

16'

Barcelona have come back into this match after a difficult start. They are now creating chances of their own, controlling the ball in the centre of the pitch. This is looking better for them.

There's the first booking of the match and it's shown to Casemiro. The Brazilian sees yellow for bringing down Messi.

SUAREZ FIRES WIDE! That was an opportunity for the Barcelona striker. He took aim from the edge of the Real Madrid penalty area, but it flashes past the far post. Navas didn't move.

Alcacer looks unsure of his role so far. The former Valencia striker has been brought in to replace Neymar who misses out through suspension. He doesn't know whether to come short or go long.

11'

For the first time in the match Barcelona have the opportunity to knock a few passes together. They need to gather themselves because they have looked rather flustered by Real's start.

Ronaldo looks to be in the mood this evening. That's twice that the Real Madrid number seven has caused problems for Barcelona in the final third. He's been in excellent form of late.

RONALDO SHOT ON GOAL! Real Madrid strike out on the rapid counter attack, with Ronaldo cutting inside and getting the shot away on goal, but Ter Stegen gets his body behind it to make the save.

Real Madrid have certainly enjoyed the better start. Barcelona are camped deep inside their own half and can't get hold of the ball at the moment. They are hanging on, actually.

Indeed, Umtiti was very fortunate not to concede a penalty kick there. Replays showed that he caught the ankle of Ronaldo as he made a lacklustre attempt to win the ball. Lucky.

RONALDO CLAIM FOR A PENALTY! The Portuguese is adamant that he should have had a spot kick as Umtiti swings a leg in the box. Replays show that he certainly had a strong case.

The task is simple for Barcelona - they simply cannot afford to lose this match. There is three points between themselves and Real at the top of the table. They must claw back the difference.

1st Half

Okay, here we go. It's El Clasico! It's Real Madrid against Barcelona and it's all on the line.

A statistic for you - Messi has scored 21 goals against Real Madrid over the course of his career, but he has noe gone six games without scoring in El Clasico. The pressure is on for him to deliver.
