The joy was short-lived, because Real Madrid fought back viciously. Barca’s defense wasn’t at the top of their game, which made it easy for Ramos to pass the ball to Modric. He kicked it swiftly to Cristiano, who kicked the ball right into the left corner of the goal and Bravo unable to reach it. The Madrista’s in the stadium cheered and yelled, while the Barca team had a lost look on their faces. Lucho seemed furious and yelled instructions to Alba and Alves. The game continued and the time ticked on. 15 more minutes were left and it seemed like that Real Madrid was going to make another goal, since they had more ball possession and created more chances to score. Benzema tried to put the ball in the net, but Bravo blocked the ball just in time and it went over the goal. Jordi was soon replaced by Marc. 7 minutes were left by now and the tension rose in the stadium. The blaugranas cheered for their team as hard as they could to encourage the team one last time. It seemed to work, because Messi created 2 amazing chances, but Neymar and Suarez failed to put the ball right in the net. The minutes were ticking on and soon only 4 more minutes were left. Real Madrid tried to block Messi as much as possible, which lead to Ramos flooring Messi. It earned Barca a free-kick. Neymar took the free kick, but the ball deflected and landed right in front of Mathieu’s foot. He swooped the ball right into the net within a second, before anyone could react. Casillas was taken by surprise, but it didn’t matter anymore. 2-1 for Barca! Camp Nou went crazy, the players went crazy with them! It was a beautiful sight. I even saw Alberto cheer, which was very rare. The game had to go on, since 1 more minute was left. The Madrista’s knew that this was the end. Once the whistle was blown it was clear that there was only El Clásico winner and it was FC Barcelona!
The guys disappeared into the tunnel after celebrating with the fans for a bit. The fans were soon leaving too, so I said goodbye to Alberto and decided to head back home. I was on my way out when someone grabbed my shoulder.
