1-1 after 1st half ends. Very impressive play by Real Madrid. Atleast they playing better than their last 2 game. Controlling the mid superbly.
Barca players are looking a little bit of today. Especially the mid of the team. I think Zidane's super sub will change the game after 60 mintues. Let's see.

The match has run for 17 minutes but the score is 1 - 1.. So far what I see in statistics, the possession of the ball is controlled by Madrid. in this match my pick (bet) is Barca. even so, the final score may be disappointing, I don't have high expectation in this El Classico match..
honestly i don't see this match between Real Madrid - Barcelona as a classic as in the past, this is more like a normal game where whoever wins will not cause much impact because barcelona is not doing well this season and the same can I say for the real madrid (even though i am real madrid fan).
El Clasico is always huge game, no matter who are playing for both teams and what is their position in the table. I wouldn't say that Barca aren't doing very well so far, I expected it will be worse. I doubt it would be a difficult game for Real Madrid. Difference between Real Madrid versus Barcelona showed easily when Madrid lost their best player, Ronaldo to juventus and even though Juventus got elevated thanks to Ronaldo, Madrid didn't lost much step, maybe they weren't great at champions league but they still became champions last year, they did that whole "we need to get better while getting younger players" side of things very carefully and did it very well.
Very biased comment, probably from Real fan 
. Yeah, it's not best times for Barca, but it's nonsense to say that difference between both teams is huge. Even bookmakers are giving advantage for Barca today. You probably don't follow football if you are saying that loss of Ronaldo haven't affected Real. In first season without him they struggled a lot, finished just 3rd, 19 points (!!!) behind Barca. In Champions league they also didn't achieved anything significant in 2 recent Champions league seasons. Last season also was difficult for them in La Liga, just after lockdown break they had impressive performance.While I wouldn't say that Ronaldo elevated Juventus. They used to dominate in Serie A and they continue to dominate now. Though, last season they won it just in final rounds. While they haven't improved results in Champions league and didn't even reached semifinals with Ronaldo.

Barcelona on the other hand failed miserably, Messi is STILL there but they are like a bunch of old dudes who are having hard time with each other, they are trying to send Messi away as well, so at the end of the day Barcelona is the weaker team in mind, I would bet on Real Madrid for this game, unless something unexpected happens they will get it.

While we wait for the start of this match, here are some interesting facts from the past
Which nation has the best all star XI (from Marca today):
Which of the suggested teams and players do you like the most?
It was nice to look back and I'm sorry we can't watch these legends anymore.
It’s hard for me to decide which team would be the best, Brazilian Argentine or French?
Maybe Brazilian. What do you think?

Tonight will be the first El Clasico match in the league this season between Barcelona and Real Madrid, both teams will prove the capacity of who will be king in Spain Barcelona or Real Madrid. For both teams winning is a fixed price and more than just three points because this match is a classic match between the prestige of the citizens of Catalonia and Madrid. I still want Madrid to steal full points at home to Barcelona even though the last Champions League match Madrid had to admit defeat to Sakhtar Donesk. Real Madrid have full team except Sergio Ramos injury because missing in first match in Liga Champion and will be replace by Ravael Varane.
It's kind dumb to highlight which team is at home nowadays .. home and away feel like meaningless damn we hate it right?I would predict Barcelona to win the match though .. especially if they successfully scored since first half , they still have something to rely on messi while real madrid has nothing, hazard continued his injury story, jovic flops and only king benzema can save real madrid's ass , Zidane without cristiano is just an ordinary manager, an ordinary guy.
Barcelona to win @2.1 , shouldn't be easy but that's the better side for now in my point of view.
this game will not be decisive for who will win the championship, as I said barcelona and real madrid are not doing well. even if today barcelona beat real madrid for example, it is possible that in the next games barcelona will lose with many teams and that is also true for real madrid. about who can win the league I prefer to wait to see more games because it is too early to guess about it.
Yeah, both slipped in the last game, deservedly, it was even just a case of who was the shittier team. Barca bounced back in europe of course but their opponents weren't exactly great (then again, neither was Real's).
Slate wiped clean tonight and this meeting is always a different animal. MY money on Barca but you always never know.daboo
Who do you think would come to win the league? It's going to be either Real Madrid or Barcelona who tops the league. Spanish league is much different than the English one and in the end, this match too is going to be a deciding one on determining who would win the league. Real Madrid of course, is the favorite one for it as Barcelona had a poor performance last time and there are still no visible changes on the team.
Both Real madrid and Bacelona are performing poorly this season, earlier before now I tipped Real Madrid to retain the title because of the crises within Barcelona.Early Injury to Ramos, Marcelo, Hazard has changed everything for the Zidane said, the team is in total shambles so is Barcelona so I'm expecting underdogs like Athletico Madrid or Sevilla to perform magic and take advantage of this poor Real Madrid and Bacelona side
Real Madrid only needs to focus on Messi, there is no Suarez anymore. If they can make Messi frustrated, then Real Madrid will have a chance to win or draw.
honestly i don't see this match between Real Madrid - Barcelona as a classic as in the past, this is more like a normal game where whoever wins will not cause much impact because barcelona is not doing well this season and the same can I say for the real madrid (even though i am real madrid fan). It is a game that I will not place any bets on and that would not surprise me if it ended in a draw. both barcelona and real madrid need to consider changing some current players and adding other players. I will only watch this game because there will be no better games at this time in the Premier League

I read it too in several articles and Zidane said he is cool with the players and staff. We all know that what is happening in Real Madrid isn't totally Zidane fault... The team is suffering to score more than 1 goal since CR7 left the team.. Benzema did a good season in the finished one but it seems that this one will not be as good as the other. The other players performances are very volatile. Ramos-Benzema cannot save you the whole time 
Wasn't really aware that Real really thinks about replacing Zidane
. Would be a really strange decision after all that he achieved with this club. And I see it the same as you. It's not really Zidanes fault. So I don't see how a different coach could make Jovic finally show why he's worth the the 60 million they paid for him. And who would they even pick as a replacement?! The only one I could think about right now is Pochettino.I am still convinced that they will keep Zidane and give him the new players he wants for his team next summer. They'll probably make a move for Mbappe and/or Camavinga.
Win easily? How dare you state it? Is there something new in Barcelona lately, so you seem very confident that Barcelona will win easily? Also, I don't see that Barcelona really has a better shape. Real Madrid only needs to focus on Messi, there is no Suarez anymore. If they can make Messi frustrated, then Real Madrid will have a chance to win or draw.
Losing at home with a weaker team is a symptom of bad shape IMHO (in Champions' League).
Let see if I will right, I'm going for a win with 2 or more goals for Barca.
Is it true if Real will lose Zidane will be sacked 
It's a rumor, mate. I don't think Real Madrid will have a better option if they sack Zidane. Also, the season is just started, too early if they need a new coach now. It's a stupid decision if Real Madrid management is going to sack Zidane.Anyway, Barca is in better shape than Real right now and they should win easly.

Who says they will sack Zidane?! Why would they do this? Only because they lost to Donezk in the Champions League? It was only one game and they still have all the chances to get out of the group stage. Nothing is lost here. And in La Liga they are only one point behind San Sebastian but have one match less. So all good their, too. Zidane managed to bring the La Liga title back to Madrid last season, he should have a lot of credit amongst Perez. I don't see a reason why they would sack Zidane at this early point in the season.
Rumors here in Italy are going in that direction that's is why I asked.
Can be the only clickbait you know what they do, create fake news to get clicks.

Some rumors about El Classico.

Anyway, Barca is in better shape than Real right now and they should win easly.

Tomorrow Barca will definitely dominate the match because it is certain that their confidence (Barca) will increase because of Madrid's lose vs Shakhtar~
Are you really a Madrid fan, mate? Why you look so pessimistic?We know that Real Madrid has got two losses in a row in the last two matches. I'm confident that they have more motivation to secure their points in La Liga this time. And they also must be aware of winning El Classico in Barcelona home, will definitely increase their spirit to improve their performance in the next matches. While if they are defeated, it probably brings bad impacts on all players' motivation. So, I'm sure all Real Madrid players will play all out. Well, I hope Benzema won't miss opportunities to make goals.
