Real Madrid heaps the pressure back on Barcelona with deserved El Clásico victory (video)

A season’s worth of Clásicos produced one postponement and, at length, two goals.

In the second bout between Real Madrid and Barcelona u2060— and the last one of the season provided they don’t meet in the Champions League u2060— Vinícius Júnior and Mariano Díaz’s second-half goals gave Real the 2-0 victory and a fresh claim on first place in La Liga.

The game at Madrid’s Bernabéu was everything the first Clásico at the Camp Nou was not. For starters, it was actually played when it was supposed to be. The other was rescheduled from mid-October to mid-December, following mass protests in the streets of Catalonia over the imprisonment of the leaders of the unsanctioned independence referendum of 2017.
