Heading into the Clasico, Real Madrid were marginally favourites to win against Barcelona. And indeed, Jose Mourinho’s side took the lead at the Santiago Bernabeu after just 22 seconds when Karim Benzema found the target.
However, the defending Spanish and European champions came back strongly and equalised through Alexis Sanchez on the half-hour mark.
Eight minutes into the second half Barca went ahead thanks when Marcelo deflected a Xavi shot into his own goal, and then on 66 minutes Cesc Fabregas headed home a Dani Alves cross from the right to complete a 3-1 comeback victory.
Goal.com takes a look back at the 90 minutes of intriguing action at the Bernabeu between the top two sides in Spanish football with the memorable images of the clash.
