La Liga: Barcelona snatch win against Real Madrid in El Classico

Franck Kessie scored a dramatic late winner as Barcelona beat Real Madrid to move 12 points clear in La Liga.

Reigning Spanish champions Real came into this game having beaten Liverpool 1-0 on Wednesday to complete a 6-2 aggregate victory to move into the Champions League quarter-finals.

Lewandowski, the top scorer in La Liga with 15 goals, had a shot deflected just wide, before Real substitute Rodrygo fired over at the other end in his first involvement.

Asensio had only been on the pitch for six minutes when he put the ball in the net for Real late on, but the goal was ruled out after a tight video assistant referee offside decision.

“I think we deserved the win and we were better than Real Madrid, we created more opportunities.”

Barcelona are next in action on 1 April with an away game at Elche before Real Madrid entertain Real Valladolid the following day.
