Unsettling El Clasico settles for a draw

On those set stages at Camp Nou, two of the world's biggest Footballing giants batttled their horns today. The match was full of adrenaline and support from almost 98,000 fans. The biggest football match of the season ended in a 2-2 draw with Ronaldo, Bale from the Madrid side and Messi and Suarez from the Barca on the scoreline.

Liga Champions Barcelona maintained their unbeaten run in the La Liga following a 2-2 draw with Real Madrid on Camp Nou. Despite Sergi Roberto first-half red card, Real Madrid failed to capitalize the chance of ending  Barcelona's unbeaten run this season in La Liga. When Messi scored the goal against Navas and defenders in his usual fashion, it was hard to predict for 10-men Barcelona. But Real Madrid bounced back with a perfect pass from Asensio leading to a fine strike from Gareth Bale, the man on occasions.

Barca has extended their unbeaten run to 42 matches and are hoping to end the season as Invincibles. This match was the last El Clasico for Barcelona legend Andreas Iniesta who is likely to head towards China after this season.

Luis Suarez gave Barcelona an early lead through a perfect cross from Sergi Roberto. The great run from Roberto and pinch perfect pass led Barcelona to take the lead in the game. Not long, however, the game was equalized by Cristiano Ronaldo who tapped in a header by Benzema. Kroos and Ronaldo combined to beat the German Keeper Ter Stegen and Ronaldo was able to just simply put the ball in the net. 
 The tension in the match was slowly rising as Jordi Alba had some rough hand movements on Luka Modric. The game was full of bad refereeing decisions as a yellow on Bale was denied, Rakitic was called offside, Marcelo was denied a penalty and it seemed a foul that led Barca to take the lead with Messi's goal.
Barca will be looking forward to end the season with the unbeaten streak. However, Madrid on the other side will be preparing to lift their 13th European Trophy. Real Madrid has been very good on European terms and are facing Liverpool in final at Kiev.
