Real Madrid entertained Barcelona at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium earlier tonight as they looked to secure a good result at home in La Liga. Los Blancos made a great start to the game and got their noses ahead in the 22nd minute when Kylian Mbappe found the back of the net. However, Fermin Lopez equalised for Barca just 14 minutes later. Jude Bellingham put his team ahead in the 43rd minute as Xabi Alonso’s men went into the half-time break 2-1 up on the scoreline.
Pedri was sent off by the referee in injury time as Los Blancos earned a hard-fought 2-1 win in the Clasico.
