It shouldn’t come as a surprise but El Clasico is lit. Barcelona began the match on the front foot with Lionel Messi getting on the ball in some dangerous areas for the champions-elect.
However, the opening goal was started and finished by Luis Suarez, the Uruguayan releasing Sergi Roberto on the wing before expertly finishing the Spanish full back’s immaculate cross in the 10th minute.
Roberto’s final ball was spectacular, but this is just brilliant forward play from Suarez.

Only four minutes later, Real responded through Ronaldo. The Portuguese forward’s back heel opened up some space for the overlapping Toni Kroos, and he picked out Karim Benzema with his cross. Benzema played a header back across the box, where Ronaldo was on-hand to bundle in a finish.

Ronaldo was limping after the goal as Real substitutes began to warmup, but he’s since stayed on the pitch.
