Goalless draw means Barcelona stay top of La Liga, ahead of Real on goal difference. FMTNews RealMadrid
Real Madrid’s Karim Benzema and Barcelona’s Gerard Pique walk off the pitch at the end of the match.
Twelve people were injured when police charged hundreds of masked protesters who set garbage bins on fire, according to emergency services. A goalless draw means Barcelona stay top of La Liga, ahead of Real on goal difference while the historic score in league meetings between the two rivals remains 72 victories apiece.
The game was originally due to be played on Oct 26 and the 53 days since seemed only to swell expectations around what Democratic Tsunami, the Catalan independence protest group, might do to disturb the most watched club match in the world.Only in the 55th minute of the second half was the game paused for a minute as stewards ran on to collect dozens of yellow beach balls that had been thrown onto the pitch.
Gareth Bale was last to get off, by which time he might have known he was starting for the first time in four matches. Ramos played in his 43rd Clasico, a record for any player in history. Karim Benzema and Fede Valverde both tested Marc-Andre ter Stegen and Jordi Alba wanted a penalty for a Dani Carvajal handball but VAR was unmoved. Raphael Varane had a better case at the other end after having his shirt pulled by Alba.
