Barcelona vs Real Madrid - El Clasico LIVE!
Real Madrid returned to the top of LaLiga with a 3-1 win over Barcelona at an empty Camp Nou.
Both sides had suffered shock defeats last weekend, with Zinedine Zidane's side then beaten 3-2 at home by Shakhtar Donetsk in their Champions League opener on Wednesday night.
Los Blancos went ahead through Federico Valverde after just five minutes, only for 17-year-old Ansu Fati to quickly equalise.
Sergio Ramos put Real Madrid back in front from the penalty spot on 63 minutes, which was awarded after the referee reviewed a shirt pull on the pitchside monitor, before substitute Luka Modric added a third in stoppage time.
