Real Madrid weathered bitter winds and driving rain to defeat Barcelona 2-1 in an action-packed El Clasico on Saturday.
The win, which came courtesy of goals from Karim Benzema and Toni Kroos, saw Real go top of La Liga ahead of rivals Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, although Atletico has a chance to regain the top spot against Real Betis on Sunday. Benzema's deft backheel flick opened the scoring in the famous derby when he turned in Lucas Vazquez's cross on 13 minutes.More Related News
