Barcelona achieved capital success in the fight for the title of LaLiga. The Catalans won against Real Madrid (2-1) at the end of a tense and controversial match between the two teams.
Barcelona is 12 points behind Real
In front of more than 100,000 spectators, “Barcelona” and “Real” put on a real show at Camp Nou.
The reigning champion of Spain opened the scoring in the first half thanks to an own goal by Ronald Araujo (min. 9). The Barcelona defender was hit in the face and the ball took a strange trajectory that confused Ter Stegen.
The La Liga leaders restored parity before the break (45 minutes) when Sergi Roberto beat Thibaut Courtois with a perfect strike.
In the second half, it was Barcelona who got the win, but the hosts were hammered by the in-form Los Blancos goalkeeper, who made several decisive interventions.
Real could have left Camp Nou with all the points, but Marco Asensio’s goal was disallowed for offside.
The coup was given to Barcelona, who scored the winning goal in the 90+2 minute through Franck Cassie.
It ended 2-1 and the Catalans are 12 points behind Carlo Ancelotti’s side.
