Real Madrid took the bragging rights when they faced Barcelona during their El Clasico game at Santiago Bernabeu on Sunday, in what is a crucial clash in this season’s LaLiga title race.
Thanks to a superb second-half display, with a strike from Vinicius and a late goal from substitute Mariano securing Zidane’s first home victory over Barcelona in LaLiga.

Barca’s players looked despondent but it has to be said that in the second half, despite a bright start, they were by far second best.

Madrid’s victory, which ends a run of four straight home defeats in Clasico fixtures in the league, sends Los Blancos top and a point above their rivals.
