Ronaldo on the bench: Confirmed starting eleven: Barcelona vs Real Madrid

No Ronaldo in the Real Madrid starting eleven and no Neymar at all for Barcelona after his move to PSG are the biggest news from the team news of the first El-Clasico this season.

Ronaldo was a late substitute in the UEFA Super Cup win on Wednesday, and will have to start from the bench again tonight. The Portuguese returned to training last Saturday after he was given an extended break because of his participation at the Confederations Cup.

Kovacic comes in for the suspended Luka Modric in midfield.

Deulofeu replaces Neymar in attack for Barcelona.

Real Madrid XI: Navas; Carvajal-Ramos-Varane-Marcelo; Kroos-Casemiro-Kovačić; Isco-Benzema-Bale.

Barcelona starting XI: Ter Stegen, Aleix Vidal, Piqué, Umtiti, Jordi Alba, Rakitic, Busquets, Iniesta, Messi, Suárez and Deulofeu.
