Barcelona won El Clásico and Real Madrid see the lead 'by a straw'

Barcelona may have taken, early on Sunday night, a 'giant step' towards winning the title of Spanish champion, as a result of the triumph achieved in the long-awaited El Clásico of the 26th round of La Liga, played at Camp Nou , by 2-1.

A match that even started in the worst possible way for Xavi Hernández's men, who saw Ronald Araújo put the ball in his own goal, in the ninth minute of the game, to the astonishment of the more than 90,000 fans who were in the stands.

But the Catalans refused to 'throw in the towel'. On the verge of the whistle for the break, Sergi Roberto restored equality, and, already at 90+2 minutes, Franck Kessié, who had been launched precisely to his teammate's place, 25 minutes before, consummated the turnaround.
