Messi failed to score in the fierce contest.

Madrid started out as the stronger side in the early exchanges and it wasn’t surprising when Uruguayan midfielder Valverde fired them in front after receiving an inch-perfect pass from Karim Benzema which was cut wide open Barcelona’s fragile defence.

However, there was an impressive response from the hosts as Jordi Alba – returning to the side following an injury – found space down the left flank and cut it back for Fati to level the score. From then on, it was end-to-end stuff as Lionel Messi came close to scoring for Barcelona and Benzema was also close to getting Real Madrid back in front but the goalkeepers at both ends were up and doing.

Coach Zinedine Zidane opted for an early substitution when he pulled off Nacho Fernandez – who had been booked – and replaced him with Lucas Vazquez just before the break.
