Acrobatic Benzema and cool Ronaldo finish gives 10-man Real win in Barcelona

‘The BBC’ overshadowed ‘MSN’ in a big way tonight.

REAL MADRID SENSATIONALLY ended Barcelona’s 39-game unbeaten run with a 2 – 1 win over their rivals and runaway league leaders in Camp Nou.

After falling behind to a Gerard Pique header, Karim Benzema adjusted his body brilliantly to react to a deflected cross to pull Real Madrid level at a goal apiece in the 62nd minute.

The goal sparked Madrid into overdrive and they had a Gareth Bale headed goal disallowed for a perceived foul before Sergio Ramos was sent off with a second yellow card.

The 10-men were undeterred though, and took the lead through this Cristiano Ronaldo finish with six minutes remaining.

And Los Blancos looked assured in the final minutes on their way to a rare win in the Nou Camp.
