JJ Bull, (live updates) Richard Martin, (match report), at the Bernabeu
23 December 2017 • 5:45pm
El Clásico began with Real Madrid gloating of their silverware-stuffed year but it ended with Barcelona racing 14 points clear of the European and La Liga champions and with Lionel Messi goading the Santiago Bernabeu while the 300 visiting fans chanted “campeones”.
Messi has delivered many outstanding displays on enemy territory, although this was not one of them. Instead, his highly functional Barcelona side sat and waited for Madrid to implode and then strode in to take advantage, putting the famous stadium into a stunned silence in the piercing early afternoon winter sunshine.
Madrid had begun the game so well and came closest to scoring first but were unzipped in the second half and reduced to a dishevelled mess.
