FULL-TIME, Barcelona 2-2 Real Madrid: Crazy game, a lot of awful decisions from the referee in favor of and against both teams, and a draw that feels just about fair.

GOAL, Barcelona 2-2 Real Madrid (Bale 72’): Madrid equalize AGAIN thanks to classic Gareth Bale strike from the edge of the box. This dude is amazing when healthy, and we have 20 minutes to stay unbeaten with 10 men.

GOAL! Barcelona 2-1 Real Madrid (Messi 52’): 10-MAN BARÇA GO AHEAD! Luis Suárez is stronger than Raphaël Varane and wins the ball on the wing, and then he found Lionel Messi who went through two Blancos and fired home the second. It was a foul from Suárez, but it was about time we got a call, right???

HALF-TIME, Barcelona 1-1 Real Madrid: After a crazy start and two pretty good goals, the game was quite garbage for the last 30 minutes of the half, and we saw a lot of fouls and not a lot of football. And that included a red card tackle from Gareth Bale that went without punishment and a red card for Sergi Roberto for “punching” Marcelo.

GOAL, Barcelona 1-1 Real Madrid (Ronaldo 14’): Madrid don’t take long to get back in the game and equalize thanks to a Karim Benzema assist and a Cristiano Ronaldo tap-in.

GOAL! Barcelona 1-0 Real Madrid (Suárez 10’): WHAT A GOAL FROM THE CHAMPIONS! A fantastic counter-attack starts and ends with Sergi Roberto, and the full-back plays a great cross for a beautiful Luis Suárez volley. Barça started great and deserve the opener.

KICKOFF! Barcelona 0-0 Real Madrid: Don’t give me a heart attack, boys!
