00:00There really couldn't be any better here today.
00:02A very warm welcome to you on this fine day.
00:05I'm Guy Mowbray, joined by Sue Smith in the commentary position,
00:08and hopefully we've got some goals and drama on the way.
00:11It's Barcelona, and they take on Real Madrid.
00:13Well, it's so loud in here, isn't it?
00:15The fans are really up for this one,
00:16and I'm sure the managers will be reminding them,
00:19remember what you need to focus on and block out all of that noise.
00:24Hide Nakata.
00:26Perfectly anticipated. Really well won.
00:31Bale.
00:34Making good progress here.
00:37Tremendous!
00:37That has been absolutely thundered home.
00:44Well, we're not going to get tired of seeing this, are we?
00:46Think he surprised most of us taking the shot on from there.
00:49Not least the keeper.
00:50It's a superb strike, though,
00:52and this is probably a contender for goal of the month.
00:56The ball is rolling again.
00:57Will there be a quick reply from Barca?
01:01Cruyff.
01:02Oh, that's a lovely pass.
01:06It's cleared out.
01:08Now they can reset.
01:12Real Madrid sloppy in possession.
01:16The game brought to a halt.
01:17A free kick given for that.
01:25Kevin De Bruyne.
01:29Real chance.
01:30It's there, and it's a goal that's a real settler for them.
01:34Two in front now.
01:38Well, if we watch this again, it's all about the run.
01:41You've got to question the defending,
01:42but I don't want to take anything away from his superb individual goal.
01:49So, away we go again at 2-0 now.
01:58This to get back in it.
02:00What a terrific effort.
02:01That would have been special.
02:02Well, he watches the ball all the way, connects with it perfectly,
02:05but just can't find the accuracy.
02:07It's a great effort, though.
02:11Now, this has to be.
02:14It's got to be.
02:15And they're three in front now.
02:17What a performance this has been so far.
02:24Another look now, and you can see he's under all sorts of pressure here.
02:28He's done well, though, to fend them off.
02:30Really strong play, and a good finish, too.
02:33Well, Real Madrid really starting to run away with this now,
02:36and the scoreline could get ugly.
02:41Jezzinho.
02:44Hide Nakata.
02:46It's away, but it's not finished yet.
02:49Cleared away to safety.
02:56Got it away, but not far.
03:00And nothing coming from their play in the end.
03:04Son.
03:06This has to be.
03:10And offside rules the assistant referee.
03:26And that's going to be it for the first 45 minutes.
03:30Now, please remind you that racism will not be tolerated in any form,
03:34and offenders will be removed from the stadium.
03:36And away we go, then, for the second half,
03:38with Real Madrid very much on top.
03:47Well, from so far out, it didn't appear to be the best option.
03:50Close, though.
03:51Well, he surprised everyone, including me.
03:53It's a decent effort, you've got to say.
03:57Ibrahimovic.
03:58And it's been cut out.
03:59There's the turnover.
04:07Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
04:10Edging ever closer to goal here.
04:17Son.
04:20Here's Maguire.
04:23De Bruyne.
04:25Zidane.
04:26Kevin De Bruyne.
04:28Oh, what a chance!
04:30They've scored again,
04:31and it's become a question of just how many they'll get.
04:39Well, here's the replay, and what a strike this is.
04:42He gets so much power behind it.
04:45The keeper has no chance.
04:48Real Madrid are going to make a change now.
04:51So, back underway.
04:524-0 now, and you wonder if there's to be further punishment.
04:57Just 20 minutes remaining now.
05:01Nakata.
05:03Tom Kearney.
05:05Kearney.
05:07Almada.
05:09Good possession with a gear change coming.
05:11Still looking for that final pass to open it up.
05:23Son Heung-min.
05:25And that will ease any defensive worry.
05:29And the keeper makes the save,
05:31and really we shouldn't have expected anything else.
05:38Only half the job done there.
05:43And that's full-time,
05:44and it's victory for Real Madrid.
05:47Well, it was a very short performance, wasn't it?
05:49Particularly impressed with their play going forward.
05:51But no, it's a very short performance.
05:51But no.
