COUTINHO... into the side netting! What an opportunity for the Brazilian to give Barcelona the lead! Ansu played a perfect pass to Coutinho at the back post, but he sends his header into the side netting.
51'
Should Messi have scored this in the first half?
50'
So close from Ansu! The 17-year-old was played through by Messi, Ansu took his time and looked for the pass, but took the shot in the end. The effort flashes wide of the far post! Very close.
49'
That's twice Ramos has won a header in the box from a corner kick. Pique is struggling when marking the Real Madrid captain from set pieces. Something to keep an eye on.
48'
It appears Real Madrid have tightened up the space between their midfield and defence at the start of this second half. That means Barcelona have more time on the ball at the halfway line, though.
47'
46'
What will the second half offer? Of course, we saw two goals in the opening 10 minutes of this match. Both teams are capable of scoring goals and are vulnerable at the back.
45'
The second half is under way at the Camp Nou! It's 1-1 between Barcelona and Real Madrid in this La Liga fixture.

End of 1st Half
45+2'
HALF TIME: Barcelona 1-1 Real Madrid. A very entertaining first half comes to a close at the Camp Nou. Both managers will be relatively pleased, but who will have the conviction to go for all three points?
45+1'
Vinicius in behind! The Brazilian was played in behind the Barcelona defence, Pique just about kept up with him, but Vinicius couldn't find a teammate in the middle. He wins a corner. It comes to nothing.
45'
There will be two minutes of stoppage time played at the end of the half.
44'
Interesting! Zidane is making a chance before the break, with Vazquez coming on for Nacho.

This is noteworthy!

You wouldn't say Messi has had a bad first half, but he has certainly been subdued. Will we see more from him in the second period? He's been out on the right wing so far this afternoon.
41'
PICTURE: Is there anything Ansu can't do?

Dest has had a very good first half. The American international was faced with the task of stopping Vinicius there and he managed to do it with ease, winning the ball from the Brazilian.

Nacho picks up a yellow card and that had been coming for the Real Madrid defender.

Alba has arguably been the best player on the pitch in this first half. He's been Barcelona's biggest difference maker down the left side where Nacho has struggled against him.
36'
Huge tackle from Dest! Casemiro looked set to break through the Barcelona defence, but he allowed the ball to get away from him and Dest made one tackle on him and then another on Benzema.
