The match is underway 

19:50 Barcelona's starting line-up: Claudio Bravo, Dani Alves, Gerard Pique, Javier Mascherano, Jordi Alba, Sergio Busquets, Ivan Rakitic, Andres Iniesta, Neymar, Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez

19:45 Real Madrid's starting line-up: Keylor Navas, Daniel Carvajal, Pepe, Sergio Ramos, Marcelo, Casemiro, Toni Kroos, Luka Modric, Gareth Bale, Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema 

19:00 Two and a half hours remaining before the anticipated clash. Barca on paper look favourites but, regardless of that, it's always an exciting affair! 

18:30 Barcelona coach Luis Enrique said: "I am sure that what Cruyff would want more than any homage is that we win thanks to good football, putting on a spectacle and deserving it on the pitch." 

17:20 Real Madrid coach Zidane said: "Everyone else can say what they want, it won’t be easy to beat Real Madrid, that’s obvious."
