Kroos, Ramos, Valverde 8/10 as Real Madrid win at Barcelona

Real Madrid beat Barcelona 3-1 in the first Clasico of the season at Camp Nou to bounce back from losing two games in a row.

An entertaining start saw Federico Valverde put Madrid ahead inside the first five minutes. Karim Benzema spotted the midfielder's run and he finished confidently past keeper Neto. The lead lasted just three minutes though, as Ansu Fati converted Jordi Alba's cross. Lionel Messi and Benzema both had shots well saved before half-time.
