Real Madrid faced off against Barcelona at the Nou Camp earlier tonight as they focused on securing a good result on the road. Los Blancos made a bright start to the game and got their noses ahead in the ninth minute when Ronald Araujo scored an unfortunate own goal. However, Barca managed to equalise just before the half-time interval when Sergi Roberto found the back of the net.
Frank Kessie ended up netting the winning goal for Barca in injury time as the Madrid giants crashed to a tough 2-1 loss in the Clasico.
