Barcelona lost to Real Madrid in the first Clasico of the season as Jude Bellingham delivered more brilliance with two second-half goals to win the game.

Barcelona won last season’s La Liga crown as they surged to their first league title since 2019 under Xavi. The champions were undefeated this season with seven wins and three draws, but this defeat leaves them trailing leaders Real Madrid by four points.

Madrid’s new signing Bellingham has made an astonishing start to life in the Spanish capital with 13 goals in his first 13 games for the club since arriving from Borussia Dortmund in the summer. The 20-year-old England star took centre stage in El Clasico, as Real Madrid laid down a marker in the race to win La Liga.

With that brace today, Bellingham joins Laurie Cunningham, Michael Owen, Gary Lineker and Steve McManaman as the only Englishmen to have scored in the fixture.

Not bad company for the 20-year-old.

FULL-TIME: Barcelona 1-2 Real Madrid

The cross comes in but it’s cleared away and that is that.

Bellingham has won it for Madrid!

The young Englishman writes the latest chapter in his dream start at Madrid. That’s now 13 goals in as many games to inspire a dramatic comeback for his side against Barcelona.

Gundogan’s strike had put Barca ahead but Bellingham’s long-range strike, followed by a deft finish in the 91st minute, means it’s the away side who have somehow come away with all three points.

Barcelona 1-2 Real Madrid

90+6 mins: A change from Madrid as Vinicius comes off for Vazquez. A late chance for Barcelona as Romeu’s long-range effort is deflected behind for a corner.

GOAL! Barcelona 1-2 Real Madrid (Bellingham, 90+1 mins)

He’s done it again! The right place and the right time and Bellingham may well have won it at the death for Madrid.

The ball comes in from the right and a deflection off Modric lifts it over Martinez and into the path of Bellingham who bundles it past Ter Stegen at close range.

He’s not been involved for large parts of this game but his two moments of magic in his first Clasico have surely won it for Madrid!

Barcelona 1-1 Real Madrid

90 mins: Lewandowski is in space on the edge of the box, but the striker can’t quite control the long ball looking for him and the Madrid defence can clear.

Four minutes of added time to end this Clasico in Barcelona.

Barcelona 1-1 Real Madrid

88 mins: Great defending from Martinez as he uses all his experience to ensure Joselu can’t get a shot off inside the box.

Barcelona 1-1 Real Madrid

86 mins: An acrobatic effort from Raphinha after Yamal picks him out at the back post. Ter Stegen makes the save but the offside flag was up anyway.

A frantic ending to this encounter.

Barcelona 1-1 Real Madrid

84 mins: A mazy run from Gundogan almost creates space for the German midfielder in the box. He eventually runs out of run but finds Lewandowski who is inches away from finding Raphinha in acres of space on the right side of the box.

Madrid counter as Bellingham feeds Vinicius, but it’s a superb last-ditch tackle from Christensen to dispossess the Brazilian.
