Cristiano Ronaldo’s late goal earned Real Madrid a brilliant 2-1 win over Barcelona at Camp Nou on Saturday night. The Portuguese collected a superb Gareth Bale cross at the back post and fired past Claudio Bravo in the 85th minute, almost immediately after Sergio Ramos had been sent off for a second bookable offence.
Gerard Pique had opened the scoring in a fiery Clasico with a superb header, only for Karim Benzema to equalize just after the hour mark with an instinctive volleyed finish.
The result sees Real move within seven points of La Liga leaders Barcelona, and the result will also provide a major boost to Atletico Madrid, who lie second.

Watching Real Madrid win is something beautiful. Watching Real Madrid destroy Barça at the Camp Nou with Zidane as manager is priceless.
