The second half of El Clasico from Santiago Bernabéu Stadium started with Real Madrid and Barcelona level at two goals. A controversial call on Dani Alves’ foul on Cristano Ronaldo awarded Real Madrid a penalty kick, which Ronaldo converted to take a 3-2 lead.
Well minutes later, Barcelona got their own penalty kick. A foul from Madrid’s Sergio Ramos on Barcelona’s Neymar as he was going in on goal resulted in a red card. Madrid is forced to play the rest of the game down a man.
This one also came with a bit of controversy because Neymar would’ve gone in one-on-one with the keeper, but it appeared that he was going away from the goal.
