#2 Barcelona vs Real Madrid, La Liga (2012-13)

FC Barcelona v Real Madrid CF - La Liga
Cristiano scored his first brace versus Barcelona

Los Blancos travelled to Nou Camp to face Barcelona at the start of October 2012. The visitors were trailing by eight points in La Liga and couldn't afford another slip up in order to keep their La Liga hopes alive.

Ronaldo opened the scoring with a brilliant left-footed finish in the 22nd minute of the game. The Portuguese became the first player to score in six consecutive Clasicos. Barcelona was quick to respond as Messi got his name on the scoresheet, eight minutes after the opening goal.

Barcelona started to command the game and soon got the reward after a stunning free-kick from over 25 yards by Lionel Messi. It looked like Barcelona were set to extend their lead at the top, just before Cristiano scored his second of the night from a delightful pass of Mesut Ozil.

It was Ronaldo's first brace against Barcelona and it proved to be good enough for the Whites to ensure a point from the fixture.
