Real Madrid beat Barcelona 2-1 in the first Clasico of the season in front of 86,422 fans at the Camp Nou on Sunday after a sensational strike from defender David Alaba and a late goal from Lucas Vazquez gave Carlo Ancelotti’s side three points.

Barcelona controlled possession in the first half but Real were lethal on the counter-attack, taking the lead when Alaba started a flowing move with a tackle and finished it at the other end with a left-footed drive from the edge of the box.

Barcelona manager Ronald Koeman brought on Philippe Coutinho at halftime while strikers Sergio Aguero and Luuk de Jong were also thrown on in the second half as they searched for an equaliser.

With seven minutes of injury time added on, Real doubled their lead when Marc-Andre ter Stegen saved a shot from Marco Asensio from another counter-attack but Vazquez pounced on the rebound to score.

Barca got a goal back in the 97th minute when Sergino Dest crossed to Aguero in the six-yard box and the Argentine tapped in but it proved to be a consolation goal as Real moved provisionally top of LaLiga with 20 points.

Barcelona are five points behind in eighth place. Follow all the reaction from El Clasico below, live.

Barcelona 0-0 Real Madrid

28 mins: Another half-chance for Madrid after getting behind the Barcelona line. This time it was Rodrygo cutting inside and slipping in Benzema, who was half a yard offside. There are fine margins, however, and that Barcelona line does look vulnerable.

Barcelona 0-0 Real Madrid

26 mins: The Clasico has come to life now. Dest had to score that chance. It was a bit of an awkward one as it came across his body and sat up slightly, be he had to hit the target.

Barcelona 0-0 Real Madrid

25 mins: Huge chance for Barcelona! It’s brilliant from Depay, he drives around the outside of Militao before squaring to Fati. It takes a touch off him before it breaks to Dest, but he blazes the shot over the bar from 12 yards! He had to hit the target there.

Barcelona 0-0 Real Madrid

23 mins: Benzema slips in Vinicius, who strayed just beyond the Barcelona high line and was offside. It took an age for the referee to pull it back, though, and Vinicius went round Ter Stegen, twice, and shot at goal before the play was stopped.

Barcelona 0-0 Real Madrid

20 mins: That’s quite brilliant from Vinicius, and Real Madrid can’t believe they haven’t been awarded a penalty! The winger skips past Mingueza and drives into the box before he cuts inside Garcia. It looks like Vinicius might have been clipped, but the referee waves away the appeals. It looks to be the correct decision.

17 mins: Barcelona are playing an extremely high line, and Madrid are looking to hit the space in behind to release Vinicius and Rodrygo.

Barcelona 0-0 Real Madrid

15 mins: It’s still a bit scrappy at the Camp Nou. Benzema and Ansu Fati have been quiet so far and a lot of the play has stayed in midfield.

Barcelona 0-0 Real Madrid

13 mins: Madrid release Vinicius on the left, who dribbles into the box before his cutback is cleared for a corner by Garcia. Barcelona are able to clear before they threaten to counter-attack, but the move breaks down as De Jong plays a loose pass.

Barcelona 0-0 Real Madrid

10 mins: Real Madrid have their first period of possession inside the Barcelona half, before Benzema gives it away as he looks for Vinicius. Barcelona play it out to Depay on the left and he skips past Vazquez before being brought down. The full back escapes a booking.
