Real Madrid and Barcelona played out an entertaining 1-1 draw

Real Madrid and FC Barcelona played out a draw here at the Nou Camp tonight. The game was not an all entertaining thriller but certainly had defining moments. Barcelona will be gutted with the amount of missed chances and to concede in the dying minutes is certain to leave a mark.

Luis Enrique’s side took the lead through Luis Suarez and looked likely to add a second until Sergio Ramos pulled things back for Real with a thundering header in the 90th minute.
