Blaugrana claim El Clasico bragging rights! FC Barcelona moved 12 points clear of Real Madrid at the top of LaLiga after securing a 2-1 win at the Camp Nou on Sunday night. SLInt MORE:
Barca made only one change from their win against Athletic Bilbao, as Ronald Araujo returned from suspension and Ferran Torres was sacrificed upfront, with Robert Lewandowski flanked by Gavi and Raphinha.
The Catalan giants were on the front foot in the opening exchanges but all their dominance did not count, as Los Blancos took the lead on nine minutes thanks to a cross by Vinicius Junior that was deflected into own goal by Araujo. Carlo Ancelotti's men had a better resistance, keeping the ball for much longer periods, however, Blaugrana's persistence paid off on the stroke of haltime after Sergi Roberto got the equaliser with a low strike from a scramble in the box.
Los Blancos changed their shape of attack after that as Rodrygo replaced Toni Kroos and the substitute had a big chance to restore the lead for the visitors moments later after he went through on goal from a high press but he fired his shot wide.
