Barcelona headed to the Bernabeu on the back of two defeats and missing four key players in the shape of Pedri, Ousmane Dembele, Robert Lewandowski and Andreas Christensen.
A comfortable Real Madrid win looked to be on the cards, but Xavi certainly got a response from his side as they showed some real fighting spirit to battle to a 1-0 win.
Barca had just 35.3% possession and needed an own goal to win but did not allow Real Madrid a single shot on target throughout the 90 minutes.
1 - Since 2010, #RealMadrid u26aaufe0fu26aaufe0f failed to make a single shot on target for the first time at home in all competitions, and for the first time this happens in #ElClásico since 2013/14 season.
