¡Hola! Welcome to The Independent’s live coverage of Saturday’s El Clasico.

Zinedine Zidane takes charge of Real Madrid in club football's grandest showpiece for the first time, with his side ten points off their league-leading rivals.

Barcelona have all but tied up La Liga and, given their dominance over the division, even a defeat today would not be that damaging.

If Real do pick up an unlikely win at the Nou Camp however, it could land an important psychological blow on Barça, especially if both sides meet in the forthcoming Champions League semi-finals.

GOAL! BARCELONA 1-2 REAL MADRID (Ronaldo)

Wow! And on the balance of play in the last five minutes, it's deserved. Bale chips one to the far post, Ronaldo chests it down, makes space and finishes.

FULL TIME: BARCELONA 1-2 REAL MADRID

What a superb turnaround. 

Real came on strong in the final fifteen minutes and got their deserved reward, with Ronaldo expertly finishing from close range late on.

Is a title charge still on? Well, they now only trail Barcelona by seven points but more importantly, this could be give them a massive psychological advantage in any Champions League meetings on the horizon.
