So here we are. Camp Nou plays host to the biggest game in club football as Barcelona host Real Madrid in a match that could potentially decide the Liga title for this season. It's Messi v Ronaldo, Pep v Jose, Busquets v Pepe. It's the Clasico, and if this game lives up to the billing then we are in for a memorable 90 minutes or so in Catalunya.

Is the title now done and dusted? Did Guardiola get his team selection wrong? Let me know your thoughts on Madrid's Clasico victory on Twitter now.
90+4'
FULL TIME. Madrid win at Camp Nou! Goals from Khedira and Ronaldo give Mourinho's men a victory that takes them seven points clear at the top of the table with four games remaining. It was a fantastic performance from Madrid, but Barca were very disappointing and will now lose their title.
90+4'
A late free kick for Madrid and Ronaldo thumps the ball high into the stands at Camp Nou. Madrid then pick the ball up again and Ronaldo almost gets on the end of a cross from Higuain.
90+3'
Here is the final change for Madrid as Gonzalo Higuain replaces Benzema in attack.
90+1'
Arbeloa appears to connect with his own team-mate Ramos yet Madrid have a free kick. Bizarre.
90'
We will have four added minutes here. Time running out for Barca if they want to retain their title.
89'
Ozil is replaced by Jose Maria Callejon as Madrid run down the clock.
88'
This has been a poor, poor night for Barcelona, who haven't been anywhere near their best. Madrid have been resolute and committed, as well as scoring the goal of the night.
86'
Mascherano is booked for a messy challenge on Ronaldo. That was borne of frustration no doubt.
85'
Mascherano of all people drives a shot high over the bar from 25 yards. Barca are restoring to his and hope now.
83'
Benzema attempts to finish things off when hitting a firm shot at goal but Valdes gets his body behind the ball to smother the effort.
81'
Barca make their final change as Fabregas comes on for Tello.
80'
This has been a superb performance from Madrid and if they hold on they will fully deserve to win the league.
79'
And now Granero is cautioned for a pull on the shirt of Messi.
78'
Confirmation that Barca have replaced Adriano with Pedro.
77'
Ozil goes into the book for taking too long at a corner.
76'
Trouble flares up on the far touchline after a tackle from Alves on Ronaldo. The right-back appeared to have a cheeky kick at his opponent from the ground. However, things simmer down quickly.
75'
This game is swinging wildly. But the upshot at the moment is that Madrid will be opening up a seven-point lead unless Barca can muster a response.
74'
Change for Madrid as Esteban Granero replaces Di Maria in midfield.
73'
GOAL! Barcelona 1-2 Real Madrid! Sensational! Ronaldo silences Camp Nou with his 42nd goal of the season. On the counter, Ozil takes possession on the right and plays in Ronaldo with a superb pass. He takes a touch to draw Valdes and then finishes with aplomb.
