Play by play
- 90'
The La Liga title race has been blown wide open with Real just six points behind Barca - will it come down to the head to head record? That would hand the title to Barca.
- 90'
What a superb game. Great skill, flowing football and six goals. Defensively it was shockin', but you've got to love a 4-2 thriller
- 90'
And that's it - the final whistle goes!
- 90'
Ronaldinho is tugged back by Gravesen and he enters the book
- 90'
Maxi looks to have done too much but somehow gets a free-kick 30-yards out. It's floated into the centre and Casillas has to make a good stop from Ronaldinho
- 90'
Figo's speculative shot is straight down the throat of Valdes
- 90'
Three minutes to be added on at the Bernabeu
- 90'
A final change for Real as former Barca man Albert Celades replaces the impressive Zinedine Zidane
- 90'
Beckham finds space. There's no challenge as he moves forward inviting the shot - which flies inches wide of Valdes' right-hand post
- 89'
Belletti is inches away from getting in, but fellow Brazilian Roberto Carlos gets in a challenge. Time ticks away...
- 88'
Back up the other end with Zidane on the edge of the box, he tries to play a short pass through to Ronaldo but it's blocked - Beckham was screaming for it, unmarked, on the right
- 87'
Just as I write that, Ronaldinho expertly breaks through and forces Casillas to again save with his feet - a good chance goes begging
- 86'
Barca look to be running out of steam now - and so am I...
- 85'
Raul is substituted now, coming on in his place is Santiago Solari
- 84'
Luis Figo breaks forward - his fresh legs giving new impetus. Ronaldo takes the pass who feeds in Beckham on the overlap, only for his cut across goal to be intercepted
- 83'
Ronaldo shows great ball sill to hold off two defender and finds space for a powered effort - straight into the grasp of Valdes
- 82'
Luis Figo finally gets into the action in el classico. He comes on for Michael Owen meaning Real will revert to a regular 4-4-2. And Owen gets a standing ovation
- 81'
This is non-stop now. Barca have a sniff and they're not giving up. But they are going to miss Eto'o badly in the closing stages
- 80'
Roladinho shots again, but this time he hits the wall - in the form of David Beckham. It's played back into Marquez but he's offside
- 79'
Maxi is fouled again, climbing from Pavon, this time right inside the D and the Bernabeu goes into a hushed silence
- 78'
Samuel Eto'o leaves tyhe pitch on a stretcher - he looks to have twisted his knee simply on the run, there was no challenge involved and he won't continue. Abella Damia is introduced
- 77'
Eto'o's down and needs treatment - he looks in some discomfort with a knee injury
- 76'
More great skill from Ronaldinho as he breaks forward, he looks to feed in Gio on the left only for Helguera to stick out a leg and thwart the move
- 75'
It's game on again, With Real's defence Barca must surely feel they still have a sniff of getting something from this.
- 74'
What a goal! I'm almost tempted to swear! If any of you have seen Alan Partridge's football commentary you'll know what I mean. Casillas didn't move, not that he'd have got there. He bent a superb, powered, curling effort into the top-right corner
