La Liga, Bernabeu – Real Madrid 3 (Ronaldo pen. 35, Pepe 50, Benzema
61) Barcelona (Neymar 4).
Luis Suarez failed to mark his return to football with a win, as Real
Madrid claimed victory over Barcelona in the first Clasico of the
season.
The Uruguayan made his first competitive appearance following his
fourth-month ban from the sport for biting Giorgio Chielliniat the
World Cup, with Luis Enriquehanding the striker a place in the
starting lineup.
However, he failed to make any real impact as Los Blancos blew away
their Catalan rivals with an astonishing display of pacy and
counter-attacking football at the Bernabeu.
The result means that Carlo Ancelotti's side have now closed the gap
on Barca to just a single point at the top of the Spanish Liga table,
completing an impressive week for Real following their Champions
League win over Liverpoolon Wednesday.
