Barca, Real Madrid draw amid protests

Host Barcelona and Real Madrid played out a 00 draw for the first time since 2002 in a supercharged “clasico” match played amid a large separatist protest that turned violent.

The game inside Camp Nou stadium was completed without any major incidents on the field or in the stands.
