An awesome Christmas gift for Barcelona’s supporters.
Barcelona defeated Real Madrid in the first El Clasico of the season after the Los Blancos went uncontrolled in the second half.
Luis Suarez opened the scoring shortly after the break with a counter move after Ivan Rakitic pushed the Madrid’s defense with his pace. Lionel Messi doubled the scoreline from the penalty spot after a clear handball from Dani Carvajal. Madrid’s right back was sent off for his action.

Barcelona humiliated the home team with the third goal from Aleix Vidal in the injury time. With the clear victory, the League leader Catalons have extended their lead over the defending Champions to 14 points which have almost ended Madrid’s hope of defending the title.
Real boss Zinedine Zidane’s future at Bernabeu seems to be in danger after almost being knocked from the La Liga title race.
