Barcelona lost to Real Madrid in the first Clasico of the season as Jude Bellingham delivered more brilliance with two second-half goals to win the game.

Barcelona won last season’s La Liga crown as they surged to their first league title since 2019 under Xavi. The champions were undefeated this season with seven wins and three draws, but this defeat leaves them trailing leaders Real Madrid by four points.

Madrid’s new signing Bellingham has made an astonishing start to life in the Spanish capital with 13 goals in his first 13 games for the club since arriving from Borussia Dortmund in the summer. The 20-year-old England star took centre stage in El Clasico, as Real Madrid laid down a marker in the race to win La Liga.

43 mins: Felix has been bright and positive in possession this half but Carvajal has been equal to him for large parts of the half. He tries to create room for a shot but the Spanish right-back gets a block in.

Up the other end, Kroos tries his luck from the edge of the box but it’s blocked by the Barca defence.

Barcelona 1-0 Real Madrid

38 mins: A rare foray into the box for Real Madrid as Carvajal receives the ball on the right side of the area. He’s limited for options in the middle and so tries his luck, but the ball smashes into the side-netting from a tight angle.

Barcelona 1-0 Real Madrid

37 mins: Fermin is having a great first half for the home side. The midfielder dribbles forward with the ball before letting fly from the edge of the box. His shot rises comfortably over the bar but it’s another positive passage of play from the hosts.

Barcelona 1-0 Real Madrid

32 mins: Vinicius has struggled so far this game and is dispossessed once again by Araujo. The attack comes to nothing, initially, but Barca have a slight opening moments later when Felix finds Balde inside the area. The left-back drives past Alaba and into the box. Kroos, though, gets back well to clear the ball away.

Barcelona 1-0 Real Madrid

29 mins: Appeals for a penalty as Barcelona drive into the box through Felix. Carvajal makes the challenge and the referee sees nothing wrong with it.

There’s a heated exchange between Vinicius and Xavi on the sideline now - this game is beginning to heat up!

Barcelona 1-0 Real Madrid

27 mins: It’s been an impressive start from the home side in this Clasico so far. Real Madrid have been largely limited to pot shots and long-distance efforts, while Barcelona have controlled the lion’s share of possession.
