It was Real Madrid vs Barcelona, Cristiano Ronaldo vs Lionel Messi and the battle so popular it's called "El Clasico", so the fans knew they'd get a stunning game of soccer, but they had no idea they'd get a seven-goal game, with heroics from both ends and numerous of talking points. The two went toe-to-toe with both looking to get the victory, but ultimately a late penalty handed Barcelona the much needed three points.
Lionel Messi won the battle between himself and Ronaldo, as he scored a hat-trick, to fire his team to a historical comeback victory over rivals Real Madrid. The game itself had everything a fan could want, and now Barcelona are just one point behind both Real and Atletico Madrid
Andres Iniesta scored to give Barcelona the early lead, but a quick double from Karim Benzema ensured the home side had the lead they craved, but both teams refused to settle, with constant attacking play on show from both sides. With an array of world class talent on display, fans didn't know where to look, but one thing they took from this game was, there is no better league than La Liga, and probably not many better teams than the two they were watching.

With the teams to play each other again soon, it's ensured fans are pencilling in the date, ensuring they witness another epic battle.
