Barcelona v Real Madrid - La Liga
Both Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez scored for the hosts

Barcelona and Real Madrid met for the second time this season when the Blaugrana welcomed their bitter rivals to the Camp Nou on 6th May.

The Catalans had already won the La Liga but they went all-out to defend their incredible unbeaten record in the league.

Los Blancos, on the other hand, sought to avenge the humiliation they suffered in the first leg and put an end to Barca's unbeaten streak.

At the Camp Nou, It took the Blaugrana just 10 minutes to take the lead. Sergi Roberto sent a perfect cross into the box for Luis Suarez and the Uruguayan finished perfectly with a fantastic volley to put his team ahead.

However, the lead lasted for just three minutes as Cristiano Ronaldo hit back from close range in the 14th minute.

The Portuguese was later substituted after getting a minor knock and Roberto got sent off for a foul on Marcelo.

Therefore, Barcelona entered into the second half with just 10 men. But, that was not enough to discourage them as Lionel Messi restored their lead in the 52nd minute.

The Argentine received a decent pass from Suarez, skipped past two Real Madrid players and sent a low shot into the net.

Gareth Bale got on the scoresheet twenty minutes later, beating Ter Stegen with a beautiful effort to secure a dramatic draw for the Los Blancos.
