Real Madrid vs Barcelona: Benzema and Valverde give Los Blancos the lead at the Bernabeu

That's all, it's done. Real Madrid win the 250th competitive El Clasico and go top of the league.

Catch your breathe.

Benzema has been subbed so penalty taking duties fall to Rodrygo who blasts past Ter Stegen to wrap up El Clasico.

Rodrygo is down in the box and VAR are taking a look at this...is it a penalty?

A thrilling end to a great Clasico. Can Barca equalise? Real are holding on...

Fresh legs! Get em on!

A hope? Ferran pulls one back for the visitors!

It's brilliant from Fati who speeds down the left, squares for Lewandowski who flicks on for Ferran to slot into an empty net. He grabs the ball and races to the centre circle.

Barca's final sub...do they have time to make a difference?

Another one into the book. Barca getting a bit frustrated here.

Real Madrid go into bus parking mode.

Torres darts into the box and twists and turns Alaba but the Austrian is having none of it.

Great defending from the veteran.

Lewandowski goes down in the box and Barca want a penalty but the ref is having none of it!

Modric then picks up a booking for a foul on Pedri in the middle.

Just under 15 minutes left.

Barca throw the dice again as Fati replaces Dembele.

Lewandowski has a free-kick in a dangerous position but he whacks the wall. It's not happening for Barca at the moment.

Benzema plays Vinicius through inside the box but Ter Stegen is there at his feet to stophim.

Vinicius goes down and is in a heap for a moment or two, but he dusts himself down and gets on with it.

Pedri is taking up Raphinha's mount for Barcelona and making things happen.

He almost picks out De Jong inside the box but Lunin is there once again to intercept. The Real 'keeper is having a good game!

One of Barcelona's outstanding players for me, Raphinha makes way after a fine El Clasico debut.

It's subs time.

For Barca...Busquets, Balde and Raphinha make way for Gavi, Alba and Ferran respectively.

Real enjoying an attacking spell now and it's all going through Vinicius who is simply brilliant.

The Spanish commentators don't like that one. 30 seconds spent shouting GOOOOALLLL only to see it ruled out for offside.

Fine, fine margins. Vinicius found him with a crossfield ball down the right flank and he's maybe 3 inches offside.
