An offside goal from Mbappe and a near post miss from Vinicius Junior were the half's most dangerous chances. Barca dangerous too but yet to really test Real.

43' Barca's Marc Casado given a yellow card for foul on Vinicius Junior. Both teams aren't as much adventerous going forward as both sides seem to be incredibly cautious in handling the game.
36' Vinícius Júnior is caught offside.
31' NO GOAL! Mbappe dinks it over Pena to give Real Madrid the lead, but after VAR review the decision is offisde!
26' Barca threatening the Real Madrid goal now, with a Pedri shot being palmed away by Lunin first and an Inigo Martinez header sailing just over the crossbar.
21' CLOSE!!! Vinicius beautifully slices through the Barca defence on the left side but strangely misses from point blank range

14' Bellingham tries after Mbappe puts him on via a low cross in the area but Inaki Pena produces a miracle save to clear the ball off the line. Offside flag raised however, so it wouldn't have counted.
10' Robert Lewandowski makes the tackle and wins possession for his team. Barca press forward.
4' : Vinicius roars to the Real support. The home favourite raises his arms to the crowd to lift the Real faithful. Seconds late he jinks into the area and wins a corner on the left.
