The first Clasico without both Messi and Ronaldo was a widely anticipated one. After a slow start to the game, the away team scored the first goal courtesy to the blazing shot by Madrid’s recent signing, David Alaba.

The declined Barcelona’s performance was eminent during the whole game. Tactically poor decisions like benching their star striker, Aguero, along with the absence of Messi definitely added to their woes.

Another goal was scored by Vasquez squaring the ball and sealing the win for Madrid it in additional time. The only goal from Barcelona came from Sergio Aguero in the dying minutes ending the match in 2-1 win for Real.
