Barcelona, Real Madrid share points at Camp Nou

The defender scored in stoppage-time to snatch a 1-1 draw at Barcelona on Saturday to ensure the leaders stayed six points clear of their rivals.

Sergio Ramos netted an equaliser for Real in the 90th minute.

Despite having Andres Iniesta cleared to play from a right-knee injury hours before the match, Barcelona coach Luis Enrique made a decision to keep faith in the same starting 11 that was thoroughly outplayed in last weekend’s stumble at Real Sociedad.

As expected, soccer fans were treated to a spectacular display in the first El Clasico between Barcelona and Real Madrid of the La Liga season.

Catch all the goals scored in LaLiga Santander 2016-17 match played between FC Barcelona vs Real Madrid on December 3,2016.

“The team has again showed that we came here to win the game, it wasn’t to be but we got a point”, said Ramos.

Only Messi, with a benign free-kick, forced Madrid goalkeeper Keylor Navas into action in the first half, while the visitors started putting more pressure on Bacelona custodian Marc-Andre ter Stegen just before the half time.

After Real Madrid beat Atletico Madrid in the final derby at the Vicente Calderon two weeks ago supporters sung the same song.

Real Madrid ended up getting a point at the Camp Nou after Sergio Ramos saved the day in the last minute of regulation with yet another header that will go down in Madrid’s history books if Los Blancos manage to win La Liga this season.

The Catalan club have now gone three games without a win in all competitions, while they have drawn their last three in the league, but Pique is confident his side can turn their season around.

“We’re a long way off what we want to be right now. We created chances. We continued looking for the second to avoid being [pegged back], but we were unable to do so”, the former Celta Vigo boss continued.

Real had the better of a lacklustre first half but Barcelona lifted themselves after going in front, with substitute Andres Iniesta particularly impressive.

The hosts were left to rue huge missed chances from Neymar and Lionel Messi and they had wasted the opportunity to reduce the gap to three points, which could prove a huge moment – one that will go some way in defining the title race. We can improve in all aspects of the game: offensive, defensive. Having him is good for us.
