Play by play
- 90'
Thanks for following El Clasico on ESPN Soccernet. Join us tomorrow for live commentary of the FA Cup semi final from Wembley between Tottenham and Portsmouth. See you then!
- 90'
Crucially, Barca now have a superior head to head record between the two sides, so should they yet finish level on points, Barca have the edge.
- 90'
Perhaps this is the night they have sealed the league, as Barcelona go three points clear of Real.
- 90'
Indeed, it is. The final whistle is blown and Barcelona win El Clasico 2-0. Madrid were never really at the races tonight and Barcelona celebrate like they've won the title.
- 90'
Real are still going for a goal but Ramos's cross is intercepted and that could be it.
- 90'
Benzema comes close with a header, but it flies a foot wide of Valdes's left hand post.
- 90'
The fourth official has indicated 4 additional minutes. He could have indicated 40 and I still don't think Real would score. It's been a bad night for them.
- 89'
Arbeloa and Pedro tangle on the halfway line, I'm surprised we have avoided a red card given the number of yellows shown tonight.
- 87'
And Madrid look like a side that feel sorry for themselves.
- 85'
The ball did seem to touch Benzema's arm but it wasn't clear-cut. Raul is disappointed, to say the least.
- 84'
Real Madrid have a goal disallowed, and it would have been a goal for the substitute Raul. A cross came in from the left and the ref has seen Benzema handball it in the build up, before the ball fell to Raul.
- 83'
Real are losing their temperament here.
- 82'
Clumsy, late and stupid from Garay. That was the tackle of a man frustrated with a poor Real performance.
- 81'
Yellow card: Garay (Real Madrid)
- 80'
Keita clatters into Benzema.
- 79'
The ref is trying to keep order after Alonso fouls Iniesta.
- 78'
Ramos fires in a cross from the right but it doesn't find its target, gathered by Valdes.
- 77'
Barcelona sub: Marquez on for Milito
- 76'
Real Madrid sub: Benzema on for Higuain
- 75'
Barca's Milito is struggling with a calf injury and appears to be coming off.
- 74'
Iniesta plays Messi in again, whose left-foot shot is saved by Cssillas, who must be exasperated with the defenders in front of him. That was truly awful defnding from Real. Messi was in far too much space there.
- 73'
Real enjoy a good period of possession but Ronaldo loses the ball with a terrible pass into the box. Ronaldo's body language isn't very positive right now.
- 72'
I can confirm that Pedro isn't dead, he was suffering with a back problem after a clash with Higuain and seems to be okay now.
- 71'
Real Madrid sub: Raul on for Van Der Vaart
- 70'
Pedro is down and isn't moving. I hope he isn't dead.
