*Barca🔷 Stay Unbeaten After El Clasico😍Thriller 📹* http://v.duta.us/G_fwSAAA
Champions Barcelona maintained their season-long unbeaten LaLiga run with a 2-2 Clasico draw against rivals Real Madrid at Camp Nou, despite Sergi Roberto's first-half red card.
Barca played 45 minutes with 10 men but managed to extend their record undefeated streak in the top flight to 42 matches, a record that stretches back to April 2017.
In Andres Iniesta's last Clasico, Luis Suarez gave the Catalan giants an early lead by turning in a terrific right-wing cross from Roberto, but the advantage did not last long as Madrid hit back in the 14th minute.
Cristiano Ronaldo - substituted at half-time due to injury - equalled Alfredo Di Stefano's record of 18 Clasico goals for Madrid by tapping in a clever Karim Benzema header back across goal.
Madrid's chances of winning were boosted by Roberto's red card for appearing to strike Marcelo in the face late in the first half, although Gareth Bale could have also been dismissed after seeming to stamp on the back of Samuel Umtiti's leg.
Although they were a man light, Barca regained the lead thanks to a sensational Lionel Messi goal - his 26th in this fixture - but Madrid felt Suarez fouled Raphael Varane in the build-up.
Bale had the final say by getting his first LaLiga Clasico goal with a 20-yard strike to claim a point for Madrid, who stay 15 points behind their irrepressible rivals.

*CR7⭐ Injury Not Serious as Real👑 Ease CL Final Fears🙏*
Cristiano Ronaldo departed Real Madrid’s Clasico clash with Barcelona at half-time after picking up what appeared to be an ankle injury, but Zinedine Zidane expects him to be available for a Champions League final date with Liverpool.
After Luis Suarez had put the hosts in front at Camp Nou just 10 minutes in, Ronaldo levelled matters just four minutes later.
However, he had to be attended to late in the first half after taking a knock. The 33-year-old was first left clutching his lower leg after finding the target.
Though Ronaldo eventually finished the opening 45 minutes, which saw Sergi Roberto sent off in the closing stages for Barcelona, he was replaced by Marco Asensio when the teams emerged for the second half.
Initial fears put his involvement in a Champions League final date with Liverpool on May 26 in doubt.
Zidane has, however, moved to calm the concerns of Blancos supporters, with the Real boss confident that a knock picked up by his talismanic forward is only "minor" after initial tests determined a slight ankle sprain.

*Messi💫 Sets New Camp Nou Clasico Record🙌*
Lionel Messi was on target again for Barcelona against Real Madrid, with a new record set in terms of Clasico goals at Camp Nou.
The mercurial Argentine has been a thorn in the Blancos’ side down the years, with his remarkable talents tormenting them both in Catalunya and the Spanish capital.
It was on home soil that he picked his way through Zinedine Zidane’s side on Sunday, with Real caught cold at the start of the second half.
Despite having three defenders around him, the 30-year-old forward found a yard of space and lashed past Keylor Navas.
The effort was his seventh at Camp Nou in Clasico encounters, and nobody has managed more.
Real legend Francisco Gento plundered six during his distinguished career, but that mark has now been passed.

*CR7⭐ Matches Di Stefano's Clasico Record🙌*
Cristiano Ronaldo is closing in on yet another record after matching the Clasico goal mark of Real Madrid legend Alfredo Di Stefano.
The Portuguese forward was back among the goals on Sunday in his latest outing against Barcelona.
He has made a habit of tormenting the Catalan giants down the years, with even this season’s La Liga title winners unable to keep the mercurial 33-year-old quiet.
Ronaldo has now found the target on 18 occasions in meetings between the old adversaries, with nobody to have represented the Blancos able to better that return.
Iconic frontman Di Stefano did manage the feat during his distinguished career, but he has now been caught by a modern day hero.

*Ramos Accuses😳 Messi Pressurising the Referee❗*
Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos accused Barcelona star Lionel Messi of putting the referee under pressure in Sunday's El Clasico.
Madrid left Camp Nou with a 2-2 draw in a thrilling encounter, fighting back from a goal down on two occasions.
Luis Suarez gave Barca an early lead before Cristiano Ronaldo – who was withdrawn with a knock at half-time – equalised soon after.
Despite having Sergi Roberto dismissed just before the break for appearing to strike Marcelo in the face, Barca restored their lead early in the second half through Lionel Messi, only for Gareth Bale to secure a point.
Real Madrid appeared to be denied a chance to take the lead when referee Alejandro Hernandez failed to whistle a foul despite Marcelo going down in the area after apparent contact by Jordi Alba.
Madrid also claimed Messi's goal should have been waived off due to a foul by Suarez on Raphael Varane.
And Ramos says Messi put Hernandez under pressure in the tunnel at half-time.
"Messi has put a little pressure in the tunnel," he is quoted as saying by Marca.
"I do not know if there were cameras, I don't know if in the second half he will have done it in other ways.
"It's football and everything has to be left on the field, as long as it's not going to hurt you. You have to have that respect."

*Klopp👓 Rebukes Mohamed Salah⚡ for Diving*
Jurgen Klopp has rebuked Mohamed Salah for his dive at Stamford Bridge after a 1-0 defeat to Chelsea saw Liverpool fail to secure a Champions League spot next season.
Last year's Premier League champions closed the gap on the top four thanks to Olivier Giroud's first-half header, and Liverpool must now beat Brighton on Sunday's final day to guarantee a place in the Champions League.
A disappointing afternoon for Liverpool saw Salah shown a yellow card after going down on the edge of the penalty area as he attempted to round Gary Cahill.
"It was a dive or he waited for the contact. I'm not sure," Klopp said. "That's not what I want to see, that's not what he wants to do. It happened."
Salah, voted PFA and FWA Player of the Year, has one game remaining to break the Premier League goalscoring record in a 38-game season.

*Milinkovic-Savic's Agent😏 Dismisses Man Utd Deal Reports❌*
Sergej Milinkovic-Savic has no agreement in place to leave Lazio this summer, claims his agent, with the midfielder being linked with an £80 million move to Manchester United.
Some reports had suggested that the Serbia international had been given the green light to complete a move to Old Trafford this summer, with Jose Mourinho marking him out as a top target.
United, though, are not the only side keeping a close eye on the talented 23-year-old.
Lazio are also understandably reluctant to part with a prized asset and can be expected to fight hard to keep a much sought-after performer on their books.
They are proving successful at present, says Mateja Kezman, with Milinkovic-Savic’s representative telling Lazionew.eu: “Lazio have three big games to go and nobody has talked about any negotiations at this moment.
“The Biancocelesti have the opportunity to get their best result of recent years by qualifying for the Champions League.
“It’s only normal there is enormous interest in Sergej between some top European clubs, but we do not have any agreement with any club.”
