This was an unforgettable game. Di María and Benzema looked to have claimed glory, but in the end it was Leo Messi, with yet another hat trick who led Barça to win the game.
Barça improved their possession ball at the start of the second half, as Madrid looked to their own more direct game. At 3-2 up, Madrid’s confidence began to grow, but just past the hour mark, Ramos brought Neymar down as he was haring in on goal and the refree had no doubts about awarding the penalty and sending the Madrid defender off.
Messi put the spot kick away and Benzema was replaced by Varane, as Ancelloti aimed to secure at least a point. Martino responded by bringing on Pedro for Neymar.
Now Barça saw the chance to pounce and with Madrid sitting ever deeper, Alves nearly put the visitors ahead on 73 minutes with a pile driver that came back off the woodwork, but the winner finally came on 84 minutes when Iniesta was brought down in the area and Messi again silenced the Madrid crowd, hitting home the penalty to mark yet another hat trick and yet another epic victory at the Bernabeu.
