Barcelona and Real Madrid play 1: 1 in the first Clásico of the season. The result was opened by Federico Valverde in minute 5. Ansu Fati tied three minutes later.
The great La Liga derby starts at 17:00 at the “Camp Nou”, a Gong.bg follow everything interesting about the game.
The first dangerous attack was against the hosts. Leo Messi invaded the penalty area, but Varane was careful and kicked the ball with elegance.
Real Madrid went ahead with their first descent to Neto’s door. Benzema put Valverde in a wonderful way in the penalty area and his shot in the far corner was relentless and left no chances for the point guard for Barca – 0: 1.
Ronald Koeman’s team reacted like a dive and it took three minutes to return the goal. Jordi Alba broke down the left and passed Ansu Fati, who cleverly made room for a shot and did not miss for the 1: 1.
After the two goals, the players calmed down and bet on the play in the middle of the field. In one of them, Coutinho tried to surprise Courtois with a long shot, but the ball fell directly into the hands of the Ballet Blanco goalkeeper.
In the 24th minute Courtois shone with a great save after a shot from Messi, and in the next attack his colleague Neto appeared in the front door, which reflected a shot from Benzema.
A controversial situation in the guests’ penalty area in the 28th minute required a consultation with the VAR. Messi entered the penalty area and fell after a duel with Casemiro, but the repetitions clearly showed that there was no violation.
Real Madrid’s excellent fast attack created tension in front of Neto’s goal in the 36th minute, but Vinicius’s shot was blocked.
Zinedine Zidane made a change before the break. In the 42nd minute, Lucas Vázquez appeared on the field in place of Nacho.
This is match 245, with both teams scoring 96 wins and 52 draws.
Real coach Zinedine Zidane is the one with the most pressure, after the Spanish media wrote for two days that the Frenchman could be released in the event of a defeat in El Clásico.
The derby will be Ronald Koeman’s first as a coach. The Dutchman has played 14 times against Real Madrid as a player.
In the starting eleven he opted for the teenagers Ansu Fati and Pedri, who scored in a 5: 1 victory over Ferencvaros in the Champions League.
Luka Modric is not among Zinedine Zidane’s 11, and instead Marco Asensio is preferred. Also returning is captain Sergio Ramos, who was injured a week ago against Cádiz (0: 1).
