Remember, he did start against Chelsea, though. Two cracking Champions League matches coming up this week with the semi-final second legs between Barca and Chelsea, and Real v Bayern Munich.

<i>@jakelove10 on Twitter:</i> Surely Fabregas didn't leave Arsenal for Barcelona to sit on the bench for 80 minutes in El Clasico, right?
- 94'
That's the first time since May 2009 that Barca have lost back-to-back games, and it is their first home league defeat of the season.
- 94'
Real Madrid had only won one of their previous 14 Clasicos so this really is a massive result.

<b>FT: Barcelona 1-2 Real Madrid.</b> A big blow to Barcelona, and surely the Primera Division title is going back to Madrid now. Los Blancos go seven points clear with four games remaining. It looked as though Sanchez had sparked Barca back into life but Ronaldo finished things off with an excellent finish three minutes later.

It's all over!
- 94'
The ball crossed in by Callejon and Ronaldo can't steer it in.
- 94'
Over the bar.
- 93'
Free-kick for Real Madrid, around 25 yards out and just right of centre. Ronaldo eyes it up.

<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Higuain on for Benzema.
- 92'
Incisive run by Granero and he passes to Arbeloa, who promptly goes down like a sack of spuds under a bit of attention from Iniesta.
- 91'
Barca corner, Puyol penalised for pushing Arbeloa into Ramos.
- 90'
Four minutes of added time - I think there have been players on the floor for significantly longer than four minutes to be honest.
- 89'
Pedro (he came on in the 74th minute, I missed that - sorry!) crosses towards Fabregas but he can't get enough purchase on the header to direct it goalwards.
- 89'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Callejon on for Ozil
- 88'
Barcelona need to throw caution to the wind now. The game has really petered out over the past ten minutes or so.
- 87'
Ozil crosses towards Ronaldo and it's again cleared out for a Real corner.
- 87'
Ronaldo's gone off to receive medical attention but he's back on now.
- 86'
Headed behind for a corner of Thiago.
- 85'
Real free-kick on the left wing. Granero to deliver.

- 84'
Barcelona corner now - the ball falls to Mascherano about 30 yards out and he, rather predictably, spanks it over.
- 83'
