Los Blancos recalled David Alaba, Eder Militao, Dani Carvajal, Luka Modric and Vinicius Junior, while Barca restored Jules Kounde, Alejandro Balde and Frenkie De Jong to the side.
The Catalans nearly drew level at the midway point when a cross from the right by Raphinha rolled all the way through for Robert Lewandowski, but the forward scooped over from five yards out. Real looked to continue their dominant display following the interval, but the Catalans were able to drop deep and smother the home side’s chances around the area.
Barca’s focus switched to the dugout inside the closing stages and brought on Ansu Fati in favour of Ousmane Dembele well before the remaining ten minutes.
