Real Madrid lost a penalty chance after Vinicius Jr struck the ball against the crossbar, sending Barcelona’s Ter Stergen the wrong way.

The match tempo kept building, as highlighted in the 33rd-minute mark when Brazilian, Rodrygo played a superb free kick that left Ter Stergen to tip the back off the top right corner of the post.

The White Angels were able to keep possession of the ball in a much-contested El Clasico match, at 53 per cent against Barcelona’s 47 per cent.
