00:20Hello from the Catalan capital, Derek Ray here with Stuart Robson
00:24And this meeting is as much about culture and identity as it is about football
00:30It's always something extraordinary
00:32Well Derek, this is what it's all about in La Liga
00:35The tension inside this stadium is unbelievable
00:39We've got two great sides here
00:46Well if you're looking for somebody to change the course of a game
00:50Look no further than Rafinha
00:51What might we see from him today?
00:53Well he's a good technical player
00:55He can see a pass, he can beat a defender
00:57And he's good in tight areas
00:58He'll certainly be a joy to watch today
01:08Well this is what we think for Barcelona
01:11Eric Garcia plays with João Cancelo in the full-back positions
01:16Rodri plays alongside Pedri in the centre of midfield
01:19And they line up with just the one striker looking to do a bit of damage
01:38And let's dissect the Real Madrid side
01:42And let's dissect the Real Madrid side
01:53And the main threat in attack today should be Kylian Mbappe
02:08A potentially absorbing contest as Real Madrid get things going
02:21A very good tackle
02:25A very good tackle
02:52Yamal
02:55And a tidy tackle
02:57Well a stylish moment
03:07Will it happen for them?
03:11That's a good looking shot
03:13Goalkeeper getting in the way
03:15Superb save
03:22Now sending it in
03:23And dealt with proficiently there
03:30How do they let that attack come to an end?
03:33Well no way through there
03:43Mbappe
03:44Able to skip past his man
03:46Oh that is a super save
03:49Well he had to finish that
03:50But credit to the goalkeeper
03:52That's a brilliant stop
04:04Delivering it
04:04In a good position to clear it away
04:11And he read it well
04:16Rafinha
04:20The pre-kick decision goes the way of Barcelona
04:28And given free reign to run
04:30And he stopped them in their tracks
04:39Intelligent ball
04:44And an attack that looked promising
04:47Might be a chance to break
04:52Inexplicably it fizzled out
04:59And Real's creative tendencies
05:01Coming to the fore
05:02And credit is due
05:04For that good piece of defending
05:08He has teammates around him
05:09And wide of where he wanted to put it
05:12Yeah keeper had it covered
05:13No doubt about that
05:25Suddenly they have possession
05:29A terrific piece of goalkeeping
05:39Over it comes
05:40And the keeper's going to be very grateful
05:43Because that wasn't the best of deliveries
05:51Strong bit of pressing
05:53Strong bit of pressing
05:54And Real with the ball again
05:56Well a touch too heavy there
06:01Oh
06:02Superb reflences
06:11And over it comes
06:14No problem with the clearance
06:20Possession one
06:23And a play in a Real Madrid throw-in
06:25Coming up
06:42And cleared away
06:43Yeah that's not the area
06:44To mess about
06:45Good clearance
06:49And Barca have it back
06:57And we will have just

07:28One additional minute.
07:33And the managers will now deliver their half-time team talks.
07:37We're at the end of 45 minutes in this game.
08:13Second half underway, and both teams will be itching to break the deadlock.
08:23Rodri.
08:30Now with Yamal.
08:35Well, they have the ball once more.
08:45Will it happen for them?
08:48And a good challenge to bring that attack to an end.
08:54Oh, that's a fine stop to get it out of harm's way.
09:02Well, Real have done everything to take the lead here.
09:04They've created some great opportunities.
09:06They just can't make that breakthrough.
09:09And now they've got to put their minds towards winning the ball back.
09:18Textbook closing down.
09:20And now they're on the attack.
09:22And the keeper flings himself up the ball.
09:33Who's going to get on the end of it?
09:46Now we're into the final half-hour.
09:52And support available.
09:54Well, it came to nothing in the end.
09:57Well, Rafinha is always the sort of player who can decide a game on his own.
10:01But in the first half, just a little bit off, wasn't he?
10:04Yes.
10:05Oh, wait a minute.
10:07They could well be in.
10:08And a fine stop to turn the ball away.
10:12Can he play it in?
10:15Oh, a fine pass.
10:16They look discomforted.
10:19Well, that was a big chance for Real to take the lead.
10:22But they've just been thwarted by a brilliant piece of goalkeeping.
10:25What a tough save that was.
10:27And nil, nil.
10:28It remains.
10:29Well, that should have put them ahead.
10:31Not quite good enough.
10:35Here it is now.
10:36A substitution.
10:41Well, good effect of pressure.
10:45Determined defending.
10:48And that'll be a Barcelona ball.
10:5420 minutes remaining.
10:57He couldn't quite find his teammate.
11:01And he's in an offside position.
11:09Real Madrid's coming away with it.
11:21Very effective pass.
11:24Vital block there.
11:26That really was a good bit of defending there.
11:32Effective challenge.
11:34Now a decent position.
11:45At this late stage, Real Madrid doing everything in their power to grab a winner.
11:54They have to take it away.
11:55So, plenty of forward momentum from Real Madrid here.
11:59Oh, they've done it!
12:01They've forged ahead.
12:02And it might be the goal that gets them victory.
12:10Well, here it is again.
12:11It goes past these markers so easily with just a drop of the shoulder.
12:15And it's a good run, matched by a very cool finish.
12:17What a great goal that is.
12:24So, underway again.
12:26And time is tight if they have designs on a comeback.
12:30Well, not long left now.
12:31But these Barca fans are driving their team on to get this equaliser.
12:35I'm sure they get one more chance before the end.
12:37Can they take it?
12:42Goal!
12:43Still chasing!
12:44Determination axed on their faces.
12:47Good bit of defensive positioning.
13:01Well, goal kick, just as it was looking promising.
13:04Well, that had goal written all over it, didn't it?
13:11And we will have just one additional minute.
13:17So there goes the final whistle, Real Madrid victorious, and their fans are going to be happy with it.
