Minutes after being pegged back by Barcelona, Real Madrid have retaken the lead in the first El Clasico meeting of the season at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Barcelona were living very dangerously in the opening minutes, with Real Madrid having had a goal and penalty ruled out by VAR. But on 22 minutes, the Catalans were breached, and it was Kylian Mbappe that broke the deadlock.

But soon after, Barcelona got the equalising goal. Arda Guler was dispossessed in midfield by Pedri, and the ball eventually reached Marcus Rashford, who cut the ball back for Fermin Lopez to continue his goalscoring form.

However, Real Madrid have hit the front again, and it’s Jude Bellingham that has scored from close range after a header back across goal from Eder Militao.

Real Madrid have been the better team in this one, so it is a deserved lead they hold again. Should they hang on, they will go five points clear at the top of La Liga.
