3 GOALS 3 POINTS
In the first El Clasico of the season, a early goal, a penalty, and a stoppage time winner was enough for Real Madrid to run away with the 3 points.
FT BARCA 1-3 MADRID
PEEEEEEEEP!
FULL TIME WHISTLE BLOWS!
BARCA 1-3 MADRID
90+3. 2 minutes of stoppage time to go.
After all that hard work, it was poor play from the keeper Neto.
He should of just came and collected a stray ball but instead, his clearance fell straight to Luka Modric who with complete composure, put the ball in the back of the net.
Game set and match.

ITS A THIRD
Madrid in dreamland.
GOAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLL!
SESNSATIONAL FROM MODRIC!
THAT SHOULD BE THE POINTS IN THE BAG
BARCA 1-2 MADRID
88. Brilliant touch from Griezmann who then plays it into the path of Dembele to cross.
He tries to chip Courtois from a ridiculous angle and it goes incredibly wide.

Neto is keeping Barca in this as Lucas crosses it to Ramos who peeled at the back post to volley which the keeper saved with his feet.
Fantastic.

Freekick Barcelona.

73. Barca turning up the heat pushing everyone up the field to get this second.
They have to be careful that they don’t get caught out by the pace of the Madrid attackers.
RAMOS TO THE RESCUE
BARCA 1-2 MADRID
69. DID THAT HIT AN ARM?
A little scrabble in the box from a Barcelona corner forced Ramos to try and clear it but he smashed the ball at his team mate Varane which seemed to hit an arm.
However, the referee didn’t think so.
BARCA 1-2 MADRID
68. Oh no, Valverde has to come off with an injury.
This will be a big miss for them.
Modric comes on, not a bad replacement.
BARCA 1-2 MADRID
65. Barca trying to put that behind them as Messi strides forward and passes to Coutinho
The Brazilian tries a little mazy run and shot but it is easily blocked by Ramos.
In all honesty the tug on the shirt was not enough for Ramos to go down but you simply cannot pull a players shirt
Barca disgusted with the decision but rules are rules.
Nicely slotted to Neto’s right by the captain.
BARCA 1 – 2 MADRID
GOAAAAAAAALLLLL
THE CAPTAIN RAMOS STAMPS HIS MARK ON THE GAME
COOL PENALTY
IT’S A PENALTYYYYY
