Real Madrid hosts Barcelona in the 32nd round of the Spanish La Liga. The match, as befits such a high-profile fixture, started without much action, and already in the 6th minute, Barcelona's defender Andreas Christensen opened the scoring. However, the guests' joy was short-lived, as just ten minutes later, Cubarsi committed a foul in his own penalty area, and Vinicius restored parity from the penalty spot.

Midway through the first half, Lamine Yamal struck towards the bottom right corner of the goal after a corner kick, but Andriy Lunin made an incredible save. The referee hesitated whether the ball crossed the goal line, but with the help of VAR, the goal was not awarded. Screenshots from the broadcast show that the ball did not fully cross the goal line, confirming the referee's decision.

At halftime, the teams went in with the score tied at 1-1.
