  1. HT: Barcelona 2-2 Real Madrid

    Right you've got those stats, I can run to get a coffee now.

  2. HT: Barcelona 2-2 Real Madrid

    That was Gonzalo Garcia's fourth goal of the season. The other three came in a hat-trick against Real Betis in La Liga last Sunday.

    The 21-year-old netted four times in the Club World Cup in the summer.

  3. HT: Barcelona 2-2 Real Madrid

    That was only Robert Lewandowski's 10th club goal of the season. The last time he scored fewer than 25 goals in a season was 2010–11, his first season with Borussia Dortmund.

  4. HT: Barcelona 2-2 Real Madrid

    Vinicius Jr's goal to make it 1-1 was his first strike for Real since a win over Villarreal on 4 October. He had gone 16 games for Real without a goal since then.

  5. Barcelona 2-2 Real Madrid

    I didn't even have a chance to do any stats around the goals or anything. Let's see what's what.

  6. HALF-TIME

    Barcelona 2-2 Real Madrid

    Well the goals have stopped for 15 minutes. Wow.

  7. goal

    GOAL - Barcelona 2-2 Real Madrid

    Gonzalo Garcia (45+6 mins)

    Remarkable. A third goal entry in a row in this live text.

    Dean Huijsen's header hits the post - in fact it's headed onto the post by Raphinha. Then Gonzalo Garcia, who is falling over, just hooks the ball towards goal.

    It hits the bottom of the crossbar and.... drops over the line. Goal.

  8. goal

    GOAL - Barcelona 2-1 Real Madrid

    Robert Lewandowski (45+4 mins)

    Barca almost immediately snatch their lead back.

    Robert Lewandowski times his run perfectly to run into the gap in between two defenders to reach Pedri's through ball and then clips the ball over Thibaut Courtois and in off the post. Perfect finish.

  9. goal

    GOAL - Barcelona 1-1 Real Madrid

    Vinicius Jr (45+2 mins)

    Real Madrid are level through a fantastic Vinicius Jr solo goal.

    The Brazilian gets the ball on the left wing near the halfway line, runs down the wing, nutmegs Jules Kounde to cut into the box, beats another defender and then puts the ball into the bottom corner.

  10. INJURY TIME

    Barcelona 1-0 Real Madrid

    Three minutes added on.

  11. Barcelona 1-0 Real Madrid

    Lamine Yamal almost picks out Robert Lewandowski in the box but it ends in a corner for Barcelona.

  12. Barcelona 1-0 Real Madrid

    Another Thibaut Courtois near-post save, this time to deny Lamine Yamal.

  13. Barcelona 1-0 Real Madrid

    Barca are all over Real now. Fermin Lopez smacks a shot towards the near post, saved by Thibaut Courtois.

  14. Barcelona 1-0 Real Madrid

    That is Raphinha's sixth goal in his last five games for Barcelona. Seven in seven.

  15. goal

    GOAL - Barcelona 1-0 Real Madrid

    Raphinha (36 mins)

    He doesn't miss this one.

    Raphinha runs at the Real defence and before Aurelien Tchouameni can do anything about it the Barca man drills his shot into the far bottom corner.

  16. Barcelona 0-0 Real Madrid

    Raphinha misses a sitter after a sensational pass from Lamine Yamal.

    The Barca teenager hits a first-time ball from the right wing near the halfway line that puts Raphinha in on goal but he screws his shot wide.

  17. Barcelona 0-0 Real Madrid

    Barca's Pedri cuts the ball back for Fermin Lopez, who shoots over with his first-time effort from 17 yards.

  18. Barcelona 0-0 Real Madrid

    Play restarts and Real immediately have the best chance of the game. Gonzalo Garcia races in one on one but his shot barely tests Joan Garcia at all.

  19. Barcelona 0-0 Real Madrid

    The managers are using this break to talk tactics to their players, who have wet towels on their necks to cool down. It's about 25C in Saudi Arabia.

  20. Barcelona 0-0 Real Madrid

    A cooling break.
