Events

Match Events

  • 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for Real Madrid CF to score. At the same time, FC Barcelona does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
  • 5' Andriy Lunin has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 6' A stunning finish from Andreas Christensen — that came from absolutely nowhere!
  • 11' Real Madrid CF are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 16' FC Barcelona is showing some good football. However, FC Barcelona are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 18' Magnificent from Vinicius Junior! That is 119 goals in 549 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 23' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 28' Ronald Araujo, a Uruguay , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 33' Controversy at the stadium! Eduardo Camavinga argues furiously but the card stands.
  • 38' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. FC Barcelona needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.

  • 45' Pedri is replacing Frenkie de Jong for the FC Barcelona side.
  • 46' Fermin Lopez is replacing Andreas Christensen for the FC Barcelona side.
  • 51' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Lucas Vazquez suffering a number of foals already.
  • 56' Real Madrid CF have won 784 goals from 549 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 61' The energy levels are beginning to show. Carlo Ancelotti might look to freshen things up shortly.

  • 74' Eder Militao has so much to prove this time. He replaces Rodrygo on 74 minute.
  • 75' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the card for Jules Kounde.
  • 80' Federico Valverde has been relatively quiet despite scoring 29 goals in his last 549 appearances.
  • 82' Real Madrid CF manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Joselu is hanging Vinicius Junior on the field on 82 minute.

  • 88' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
