While Lionel Messi stole the show with two goals for Barcelona, Los Blancos missed chances and their captain was sent off for a rash challenge
This Clasico clash was there for the taking. Even with 10 men, Real Madrid had chances to finish off Barcelona in the title race and also to win the match. But just when it looked like they had earned a valuable draw, they were staring instead at a dramatic defeat.
A point would have been enough and although Barcelona were dangerous all evening despite the absence of the suspended Neymar, Madrid saw plenty of the play and had sufficient opportunities to come away with a positive result which would have all but sewn up La Liga.
