The Nou Camp hosted a very good game.
Barcelona are still well on course for yet another La Liga title, but their incredible unbeaten record has come to a crashing end at the hands of their fiercest rivals in their own backyard.
Despite Gerard Pique giving Barca the lead with a powerful second half header, Karim Benzema finished off a superb team move to level matters for the visitors, before Cristiano Ronaldo won it with only minutes left.
It was a well deserved Real Madrid victory, with Gareth Bale harshly having a goal disallowed at 1-1, right before Cristiano Ronaldo rattled the crossbar.
Minutes later, Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos was sent off for a second bookable offence, but that didn’t stop Ronaldo getting the decisive goal in the 85th minute.
Here’s the reaction to another crazy El Clasico.
#ElClasico is always more than a game, it is pure theatre.

Real felt FCB slowed down (specially since Rakitic replaced) and went for the kill.
Bale goal shouldn't have been disallowed. And now CR7!!— Guillem Balague (@GuillemBalague) April 2, 2016
It's almost like he tries to get sent off. #Ridiculous #Ramos

While there was one man who still well remembered.
An emotional and uplifting farewell to Johan Cruyff at the Camp Nou. Privilege to be here. RIP.
