Real Madrid
FC Barcelona
17:48 - Messi has played well at an attempted CAM position, sitting behind/rotating with Suárez who has been as sharp as a razor.
17:47 - It's been a great first-half, and the game has not disappointed whatsoever.
45: No stoppage time to be added on, as the referee blows the whistle for half-time. 1-1, with Ronaldo converting from the penalty spot after Neymar's early opener.
44: Madrid hoof clear as Suárez lurks dangerously in the opposing half, he has played well so far today despite not playing any competitive matches since mid-June in the World Cup.
43: And now it's Real's turn, as they hold up possession and take a breather. Rodriguez has an effort blocked, before he lurks inside the area and his header trickles past Bravo as Pique was left static.
41: Patient passing play from Barca, which is greeted by some boos from the Madridistas in the Bernabeu.
40: Two corners are dealt with effectively by Real, before Ronaldo goes down easily again and loses possession. Great tracking back by young Isco to win the ball back for Madrid, but Ronaldo's attempted delivery into the box goes nowhere as the danger is averted.
39: Great passing-play from the visitors, as they get forward quickly. Messi-Iniesta-Neymar-Mathieu, who has an attempted cross blocked by Carvajal and out for a corner.
38: Possession stats are in Barcelona's favour, they have had 57% to Real's 43% so far today.
37: Another yellow card for Barca now, as Iniesta is booked for a clumsy charge into the back of Modric. 4 yellows already, and they have all been given to the visitors today. Messi, Neymar, Pique and now Iniesta.
34: Ronaldo stands tall, as he gets ready to take it.... GOAL! Bravo's impressive goalkeeping record has finally been beaten, as he is sent the wrong way by the Portuguese forward who makes no mistake from 12 yards out. That's his 16th goal of the season, an unbelievable record.
33: PENALTY! Pique is booked, after Marcelo's cross into the area bounces off the Spanish defender's hand.
29: Messi weaving his magic once again, he picks up the ball and dribbles past three players before finding Mathieu lurking to his left - the defender gallops forward near the line before he is tackled by Carvajal; a slide tackle is enough for a corner.
28: Great link-up play between Messi and Suárez near the area, the latter finds Neymar who goes for the 1-2 but the resulting pass is too strong for the young Brazilian who stops running as he realises he will not be able to catch up.
27: Replays being shown of the Ronaldo penalty appeal, if it was given it would have been very soft. For someone of Ronaldo's strength and agility, he should not be going down that easily.
26: Brave defensive block by Ramos, who scampers back to defend and eventually halts the run of Suárez in the area, he looks hungry for goals today.
25: Penalty appeal waved away by the referee, as Ronaldo goes down easily in the area after an apparent bodycheck by Busquets... nothing given.
22: CLOSE! Great vision from Suárez who picks out the attempted run of Messi into the area, the Argentine shoots towards goal but it skims the post before going out of play for a goal-kick. Let off for Real there, Messi unlucky not to double Barca's lead.
21: Decent stop by Casillas, after good work from Mathieu to feed the ball into the path of Messi who dribbles his way past two markers before having a low effort blocked by the Spanish goalkeeper.
20: Good defensive work all-round from Barca, as they hoof the ball clear after pressure from Ronaldo going forward.
18: Patient build-up between Marcelo and Ronaldo on the edge of the area, the latter's effort on goal is rather tame as Bravo is called into action again to catch the shot.
16: Kroos goes close with a low drive just outside the area, but Bravo does well to get down low and smother the danger as Barca counter attack with Mathieu finding Suárez alone in the area lurking... Carvajal saves the day for Real, clearing the danger just moments before the Uruguayan was going to shoot.
15: Neymar tries to skill-up Rodriguez near the touchline in a tight spot, but his overhead spin ends up out of play and Real have a throw-in.
14: Silly by Neymar there, did not need to do that. He lunges recklessly in the air, elbowing Carvajal in the process as they vie for the ball in an aerial challenge. Yellow card brandished as a result of the revenge challenge, and now Neymar is the second player in the referee's book, only 14 minutes played..
13: Carvajal uphends Neymar near the touchline, and the Barca forward goes down rather theatrically. The referee speaks to the linesman, no card given though.
12: What a pulsating start to the El Clasico this has been, hopefully it can stay in the same vein!
10: OFF THE CROSSBAR AND THEN THE POST! Benzema goes close on two occasions, first after Ronaldo crosses into the box for him to head, he hits the crossbar before he wins the ball again in the area and hits the post with a thunderous effort, Bravo would not have saved that..
9: CLOSE! Marcelo weaves his way into the area, before spinning a cross towards goal.... into Benzema's path but he is unable to sort his feet out quickly enough and Barca clear.
8: Yellow card given to Messi, after a clumsy challenge on Kroos near the centre-circle.
5: Ronaldo's free-kick effort is blocked by the wall, the resulting ball trickles into the path of Benzema who goes close! Good reactions by Bravo who rushes out to block the Frenchman's effort, but the shot spins out of play for a goal-kick, just past the post!
4: Real have a free-kick in a dangerous position, after Ronaldo is barged off the ball by Pique as he attempts to squirm his way towards goal.
3: GOAL! Barca are ahead! Neymar gets himself on the scoresheet early on, with Suárez recording his first assist in his league debut; after a great pass-and-move between Messi and the Uruguayan is clinical finished in the area by the Brazilian forward, with Casillas unable to stop the shot.

Real Madrid vs Barcelona Live
15:40. Real Madrid have won just two of the last twelve meetings withBarcelona, drawing two and losing the remaining eight. However, los Blancos are in fine form. They have won their last five league games and are averaging five goals a game. Real Madrid are meeting the strongest defence in the league, as Barcelona are the only club yet to concede in Europe's top five leagues. If Barca do keep a clean sheet tonight, it will equal their longest ever run of games (9) without conceding. Not only that, the Catalan giants are unbeaten in their last 13 league games - a run stretching back to last April's 1-0 defeat at Granada. In fact, Luis Enrique's side are unbeaten in the previous 11 matches against capital clubs, the last defeat came at the Bernabeu in March 2013. While Cristiano Ronaldo has 15 La Liga goals to his name this term;Lionel Messi (7) and Neymar (8) have, between themselves, the exact same amount. Both teams have scored in each of the last 16 Clasicos; the longest run of its kind in the fixture's history. The last time either side failed to find the net was in the 2011 Champions League semi-finals, when Barcelona ran out 2-0 winners.
15:35. Here's the highlights of the last Clasico Real Madrid vs Barcelona Live, where Barcelona won 3-4 in the Bernabeu. Andres Iniesta opened the scoring with an emphatic finish, before Victor Valdes allowed Karim Benzema's header to slip through his hands. Benzema quickly added his andReal Madrid's second, when he thundered a volley past the helpless Valdes.Lionel Messi equalised with a fine finish, only for Cristiano Ronaldo to convert a penalty early on in the second half. Messi then scored his own spot-kick, after Sergio Ramos was sent off for a last-ditch tackle. Yet another penalty was won and the Argentina maestro calmly converted for his hat-trick, on a memorable night in Madrid.
A brace for Ronaldinho, including an amazing solo effort, had the entire Bernabeu off its feet and applauding the Brazilian.
15:30. Despite Cristiano Ronaldo playing down the rivalry between himself and Lionel Messi, it is almost impossible to get away from in thisReal Madrid vs Barcelona. The two best players in the world, without much doubt, go head-to-head again this evening and their every move will be scrutinised. Ronaldo's start to the season has been nothing short of impeccable, scoring 18 times in his opening 10 games. However, the Argentine could steal the limelight if he scores a brace as it will see him break Telmo Zarra's record of 251 for goals scored in La Liga - a record that has stood for almost 60 years.
15:25. Carlo Ancelotti was understandably pleased with Real Madrid's performance in mid-week. Here's Mosope Ominiyi's round-up of his comments.

El Clasico Live Commentary
14:45. Andrés Iniesta will take part in his 13th El Clasico Real Madrid vs Barcelona today, but he's not coming to any conclusions just yet: “It’s hard to predict what we’ll find on Saturday , you don’t know how they’ll be and often it all comes down to little details. There is a lot of quality in both teams and the game could go either way”. Speaking to the media on Thursday, Iniesta insisted that, “We will be going there with the intention of winning. It’d be a big mistake to think that we’ve got a four point lead and even if we lose we’ll still be top. We’re just thinking about playing well, winning and stretching our lead in the table, which would be important, but not decisive at this stage of the season." As for Real Madrid's set-up, he commented: "They will try and have the ball, create danger and hit us quickly on the break and we have to hold on to possession for as long as possible. It’s always a footballing battle and you have to be better than them at everything to win We have to maximise our strong points and minimise theirs.” Barcelona's inspirational play-maker admitted: “It’s always important to be on an upward curve and when you are at the top of your game you have to try and stay up there”. Before talking about Luis Suárez, he explained, “He’s happy to be available and the rest of us are happy about it too. We hope he performs as well as he has always done." Then his Brazilian team-mate, Neymar: “The first year is always difficult, you have to change your ways and habits and it takes a while to settle. He’s more relaxed now and he’s an excellent, unique player."
14:40. This evening's clash will take place at Real Madrid's iconic Santiago Bernabéu. Home to well over 80,000 crazed supporters, it will be a cauldron of noise later on today. In 2013 Florentino Perez, pictured right, announced plans for one of world football's most famous venue's to be renovated. The £328m project will take around 3 years to be completed, the capacity will rise to around 88,000 and will have a retractable roof.
14:30. Here are the other La Liga matchday nine fixtures this weekend:Celta Vigo 3-0 Levante (Friday); Almeria-Athletic Bilbao, Valencia-Elche, Cordoba-Real Sociedad, Eibar-Granada (Saturday); Malaga-Rayo Vallecano, Espanyol-Deportivo, Sevilla-Villarreal, Getafe-Atletico Madrid (Sunday).
Real Madrid v Barcelona
14:25. James Rodriguez, who played a supporting role in Real Madrid's 0-3 win at Anfield, spoke to the club's official website ahead of el Clasico Real Madrid v Barcelona: “It will be a tough and complicated match. I want to approach it calmly, responsibly and also really be up for it, in order to help the team get the win. I'm in good form as is the whole squad. We have a strong group of players and are united, mentally speaking." Since his big-money move from Monaco, the playmaker has settled well: "Madrid is a beautiful and charming city. It has everything. It is a very welcoming place for foreigners and I am really happy here. I like to spend time with my family, the people who have always been by my side. Whenever I'm out on the pitch I think about them, especially my daughter. Family is a great thing and one will always work hard to make sure their family is looked after”.When asked about his inspiration, their was no doubt, “Valderrama is my idol. He is a hero for me and for everyone in Colombia. I have a father-son relationship with Pekerman (the manager of the Colombian national team)”.
14:20. Gil Manzano from Badajoz province, Extremadura, will be taking charge of the game Real Madrid vs Barcelona. At thirty-years-old,he is currently the youngest referee in the Spanish top-flight and has referred games in La Liga since the 2012-2013 season. He took charge of the controversial Racing Santander game in last year's Copa del Rey and also has experience with both teams tonight. However, this was be his first ever el Clasico Real Madrid vs Barcelona.
14:15. Currently four points ahead of Real Madrid, Barcelona sit top of La Liga on 22 points. They have yet to concede a goal domestically and have only dropped two points so far. A 3-0 home win against Elche was the perfect start for new Barca coach Luis Enrique. A tough 0-1 away triumph followed at Villarreal, a fantastic first away win in charge for Enrique. One of Barcelona's typically tough fixtures was up next, but they came with flying colours and dispatched Athletic Bilbao 2-0. A 5-0 win against Levante was routine, but a stubborn Malaga kept Barcelona quiet and they dropped points for the first time in a 0-0 draw. Since then, it's been plain sailing. Wins against Granada (6-0), Rayo Vallecano (2-0) and Eibar (3-0) mean they have a four point cushion from Sevilla in second. In Europe, it's been a mixed bag. A 1-0 win over APOEL Nicosia was unspectacular, but the three points they needed. A 3-2 loss to PSG followed, a thrilling game that could very easily have gone either way. They bounced back immediately and were 3-1 winners over Ajax in mid-week.
Real Madrid vs Barcelona Score
14:10. Real Madrid are currently sitting in third place, a point behind Sevilla. After a rough start to the season, they have finally started to fire and show just why their nickname is the 'Galaticos'. A comfortable 2-0 win over Cordoba was followed by the loss of a two goal lead to Real Sociedad. Cruising and taking things in their stride, after just eleven minutes, Sociedad had restored parity by half-time. Strikes from David Zurutuza and Carlos Vela won the game for the hosts, leaving Real searching for answers. Another loss to city rivals Atletico followed, an Arda Turan goal 15 minutes from time sent los Blancos to a second consecutive defeat. Carlo Ancelotti's men needed to bounce back and they did, in emphatic fashion. An 2-8 away at Deportivo was the perfect response; Cristiano Ronaldo's hat-trick, along with Gareth Bale and Javier Hernandez's braces and James Rodriguez' wonder goal, sealed a quite remarkable rout. Ronaldo followed up his hat-trick by hitting four goals against Elche in a 5-1 win. A vital victory against Villarreal followed, then another two 5-0 routs against Athletic Bilbao and Levante have Real Madrid in firing domestic form. In Europe, Real have been finding the net with ease. A 5-1 win against Basel was followed by a hard fought 1-2 triumph over Ludogorets and then their first ever win against Liverpool. Karim Benema and Ronaldo were on-song in a comfortable 0-3 away victory.
