FULL-TIME, Real Madrid 1-3 Barcelona: A fantastic performance from a Barça team that wanted it more and outplayed Real Madrid for almost all of El Clásico.

It was a one-sided affair where Barca were as sharp as they've been all season.

This is a dangerous free-kick chance for Barcelona from the right edge of the penalty area. A turnover generated by an excellent Eduardo Camavinga tackle springs the chance, and the ball filters to Robert Lewandowski at the top of the penalty area. 43rd min: Vinicius Jr has a great chance to run at the Barcelona defense, but he takes a heavy first touch and the chance evaporates. Real Madrid are so nonchalant on the ball, and they seem to almost be expecting to fall short in various moves. Real Madrid, defeated in this final and sitting three points back of Barcelona in the La Liga table, have lots of questions to answer as they return to Spain and look ahead to producing a title challenge as well as a Champions League defense.

The ball is played in from the left side. Real Madrid in whites and Barcelona in red and blue stripes. The referee waives play on but Barcelona is interested in taking the free kick. The ball rolls to Kounde on the right and he flashes a shot at the goal. Courtois saves but the ball ricochets to the left post. Barcelona again builds a neat move in the final third and the ball ends up with Lewa. Courtois comes out of his line to stop the ball and wins it in the air. Dembele crosses the ball from the final third, presumably for Lewa but the striker is still not quite in position and the ball is cleared without any danger. They make it into the penalty area but the Barcelona defence is able to nick the ball just in time. It has been compact in defence and has retained the ball well. It is in Benzema’s range but Garcia reaches the ball first and clears it for a corner. Barcelona in control of the ball.
