Real Madrid clashed heads with Barcelona at the Nou Camp earlier tonight as they hoped to secure a good result on the road in the Clasico. Los Blancos made a slow start to the game and conceded the opening goal in the ninth minute when Marcus Rashford found the back of the net. Ferran Torres put Barca 2-0 up in the 18th minute as Alvaro Arbeloa’s men went into the half-time break 2-0 down on the scoreline.
The Madrid giants failed to mount a comeback in the second 45 minutes and crashed to a poor 2-0 loss away from home.
