Barcelona vs Real Madrid important minutes from the Supercopa El Clasico
The Barcelona vs Real Madrid Clasico began being played at a fast pace when Lionel Messi picked up the ball in midfield and played the front running Iniesta straight through the middle with a perfectly balanced pass.
That was in the 15th minute of the game as Lionel Messi set up Iniesta for the opening goal and the Spanish midfielder dinked the ball past the advancing Iker Casillas to open the scoring, but Real Madrid quickly equalised when Barca struggled to clear a corner and Benzema’s shot-flank was diverted in by Ronaldo past Victor Valdes.

Cesc Fabregras, the former Arsenal captain who signed for his ‘hometeam’ Barcelona for $29m on Monday, came on as an substitute in the 82nd minute after Karim Benzema looked to have sent the tie into extra-time by equalising it at 2-2.
But it was Lionel Messi who provided the final breakthrough, feeding Adriano Correia out wide and then connecting with his low cross to smash home the winner inside the near post.
But the game will be remembered for the mass brawl towards the end of the game and not by the attractive football and rain of goals, as Real Madrid wing back Marcelo’s vicious tackle on Cesc Fabregas in the final minute had players and both benches jostling and arguing.
