El Classico Lives Up To Hype


Every time Barcelona and Real Madrid meet, the world always stops to watch arguably soccer's two biggest clubs face off. There is always an abundance of talent on the field: names like Ronaldo, Messi, Ibrahimovic, Henry, and Kaka are legends.

This year's first meeting shaped up to be one of the most highly-anticipated meetings in recent memory. Both teams were at the top of the table. Both had made massive summer signings (Madrid had spent nearly $375 million on new players alone!). All that was missing was an amazing 90 minutes of soccer.

Barca and Madrid did just that at the Camp Nou. The 1-0 victory for Barcelona was filled with many chances on goal and amazing bits of skill. Madrid now sit at second in La Liga after Barca leapfrogged Los Blancos with the victory. But don't worry fans: the rematch at the Santiago Bernabeu in Madrid is only 132 days away!

Here are the highlights (en espanol) from the game:
