Image source, Getty ImagesCristiano Ronaldo sends Claudio Bravo the wrong way with a solid side-foot into the left-hand bottom corner.
Barcelona's defence is breached for the first time in 815 minutes of La Liga football and Ronaldo's run of scoring in every home league game since September 2013 continues.
It had been brewing. After several close calls, the referee points to the spot as Gerard Pique blocks Marcelo's low cross with his arm.
Trying to keep your eyes across this one is like single-handedly supervising a school trip to France. There is trouble brewing all over the place.
Dani Alves thumps a shot just wide at one end, as Gerard Pique gets away with a sly tug on Karim Benzema's shirt in the Barca box.
Image source, APLuis Suarez looks like he slotted in perfectly alongside Lionel Messi and Neymar. The three of them are all clever movement and canny passes and it takes a stretching challenge from Dani Carvajal to snuff out some growing danger.
Image source, Getty ImagesCristiano Ronaldo is shooting daggers at the referee. The Portuguese superstar turns inside Sergio Busquets, tumbling as he brushes chests with the Barcelona man. Ronaldo wants a penalty. The referee wants him to calm down and get on with it.
There is plenty of venom in the early challenges. Toni Kroos rakes his studs down the shin of Lionel Messi, but escapes a yellow.
Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher tweets:, external Luis Suarez like David Beckham here.
Suarez has delivered some fantastic early crosses.

Real Madrid try to press the play and get caught out of kilter. Luis Suarez peels down the left flank and threads a low cross in behind the turned Real defence. Lionel Messi meets it four yards out, but screws his side foot wide, perhaps put off by the Iker Casillas's sprawl.
Barcelona are starting to put their foot on the ball, taking some of the pace out of a relentless first 20 minutes. A prolonged spell of Barca possession draws whistles from the Bernabeu stands.
Bright Eugene VII:, external Messi and Neymar are both sitting on one booking. This will definitely be interesting.
Hugh in France:, external Millions of footballers in S America. But the best 4 are on the pitch together in Madrid. Impressive. Especially James.
Midfield doesn't seem to exist at the moment. It is just two attacks going hammer and tongs at two defences at either end of the pitch.
Cristiano Ronaldo cocks his left foot from an acute angle, but his effort is a scruffy one, easily gathered by Claudio Bravo.
Toni Kroos gets his head up from 25 yards and thuds a shot into the midriff of Claudio Bravo. That is Real Madrid's fifth shot on goal already.
Image source, Getty ImagesNeymar in the book as well now after clattering into Dani Carvajal as revenge for an earlier challenge. Lionel Messi and Neymar are the game's first two cautions, hardly your classic hatchet men.
Image source, Getty ImagesIt was 4-3 in this fixture last season. It was an absolute belter and this is living up to that high standard. Both attacks looking as sharp as razors.
Cristiano Ronaldo whips in a left-wing cross and Real Madrid team-mate Karim Benzema meets it with a thumping header which crashes against the bar. Benzema is quickest to the rebound and smashes it goalwards but it appears to graze the woodwork again on its way behind.
Image source, ReutersAndrew Priestley:, external Neymar has really stepped up his game over the past 6 months. He's finally showing his world-class potential. What a start!
Beautiful skill from Marcelo to escape down the left but his low cross is just behind Karim Benzema. Real upping the pressure and Barca defending frantically.
Image source, EPALionel Messi commits another foul - this time on Toni Kroos - and is rightly shown the yellow card he should have received a minute earlier.
Karim Benzema ghosts into the Barcelona area and meets a long ball, getting there ahead of Claudio Bravo but the Barcelona keeper gets his left hand on his shot to palm it to safety.
Lionel Messi is lucky not to get a yellow card after scything down Luka Modric on the halfway line.
Worth a bet that most players would have been booked there, but butter wouldn't melt for the Argentine.
