00:00We're closing down, higher up the pitch, certainly in the attacking half of the pitch, but they've been quick to relinquish possession.
00:06Here's Mbappé, who's onside. Oh, what a finish from Kylian Mbappé.
00:13This is why Real Madrid waited seven years to sign him.
00:19A player at the very height of his capabilities. What a finish that is from Mbappé.
00:25And Real Madrid have an early lead in El Clásico.
00:30Just as you were mentioning that Marcus Sorg was talking about not giving the ball away cheaply.
00:37Because of the turnover, because of the skill, because of the flair, because of the brilliance that comes from Real Madrid and Kylian Mbappé in particular.
00:48They haven't had the ball, we're talking about Barcelona, looking comfortable in possession.
00:51The ball is stolen away there, as Firmin Lopez inadvertently gives it back to Barcelona.
00:58It's a little knockdown there, Truemaine is challenging, but Agula gets the touch.
01:03Kylian Mbappé, no other thought in his mind, reacts sharply.
01:06Shows all the confidence you'd expect from a player that is scoring pretty much all of Real Madrid's goals.
01:13Doesn't even look at a goalkeeper, he's got his eyes fixed firmly on the ball.
01:16Knows exactly the technique that he's looking for.
01:21And almost takes Chesney by surprise.
01:23It's a brilliant goal, a brilliant player who's, this season, is becoming unplayable, checking the offside.
01:31Vinicius was, I think Mbappé was just onside when the ball was turned over.
01:36Vinicius was, I think Mbappé was just onside when the ball was turned over.
02:06Vinicius threw on goal, Mbappé!
02:09The flag stays down, the Bernabeu celebrates.
02:13Mbappé has the ball in the back of the net again.
02:17And we think Real Madrid have taken the lead.
02:19Well, I'm going to err on the side of caution.
02:21It's brilliant play from Drew Bellingham.
02:23He gets the crowd off their feet because he does a wonderful little pivot, turn in midfield.
02:28And then the dynamic of that attack changes instantly when Bellingham was on the ball.
02:34Then after all that, he comes up with a defence splitting pass, which is absolutely perfection for Kylian Mbappé.
02:43The flag doesn't go up.
02:46But again, I think it's close.
02:49You can see here, there's the turn from Bellingham.
02:51And the attack opens up.
02:53I'm going to say it, I think he's onside.
02:56And again, that Barcelona offside trap has been breached by Real Madrid.
03:02Not for the first time this season by any team in La Liga.
03:06It is an issue, it's a problem.
03:08Bellingham done some wonderful, magical things in midfield.
03:11If you're looking at it, it's probably this 11 that's going to have to get it back in the game for them.
03:20Very long there.
03:21It's fallen to Marcus Rashford, who pulls it back to Fermin, who makes absolutely no mistake.
03:28Fermin Lopez is a player who just cannot stop scoring.
03:32Another big goal for the youngster.
03:35Ardegula looks to the sky because he knows he has cost his team a goal on the biggest stage of all.
03:41Yep, just as I was talking about Barcelona, possibly looking to the bench.
03:46And the words just came out of my mouth that perhaps it's down to this 11 out there that have to try and get the job done.
03:54Ardegula has been absolutely sensational this season.
03:56He's a brilliant footballer.
03:57He's in possession of the ball here.
03:59Pedri just prods it away.
04:02And then there's a problem.
04:03Then it's another Vart looking at the offside.
04:08Rashford does really well with a cutback.
04:11Keeps his head.
04:13Playing in the game with this massive Marcus Rashford.
04:16When he gets the opportunity, he has clarity in his mind.
04:20He looks up.
04:21He sees his teammate in a really good position.
04:24Hansi Flick would have seen it.
04:25Lula out to Vinicius.
04:35He gets his head down.
04:37Gets past Koundé.
04:40Litao with a header.
04:41And Bellingham all on his own in the six-yard area scores.
04:47Simple as you like for Real Madrid.
04:50Created by Vinicius.
04:52And finished off by Jude Bellingham.
04:56Real Madrid back in front.
04:57Well, when we guarantee goals at the start of the game, I thought, oh no, why did we say that?
05:01But we're pretty sure that it's going to be the case.
05:03Three already before half-time.
05:06He's had a great flow to the game as well.
05:09For five minutes, Real Madrid are on top.
05:10For five minutes, Barcelona are on top.
05:12When both teams attack, clearly looks to me as if, particularly in the case of Real Madrid against Barcelona's defence,
05:18is that the Barcelona defence is lacking.
05:22It's not as strong.
05:23It's not as powerful.
05:25Real Madrid look at the moment to have the better defence.
05:28And in this instance, there's plenty of bodies back for Barcelona.
05:31It's across from the far post.
05:32It looked like it might have drifted behind the goal, but it creeps back in play.
05:37And when it's headed back across from the far post, by Minitao, I think Balder is claiming a foul.
05:42Kubas is claiming a foul.
05:44Housen is a threat and there's no foul in there.
05:46Housen tries to get the decisive touch from close range.
05:51And Belen are absolutely delighted that Housen misses it.
05:55And he's there for the tap-in.
