Real Madrid tie at the top of the table with Barcelona following a Sunday night defeat to Leo Messi's spectacular and magic winning goal at just the end of the game (The clock had read 91.27: 33 seconds and 100 metres to go; 26 seconds later, it was a winning goal). Though, Los Blancos still have a game in hand to play, which if they win would take them to the summit in La Liga.
Having been battered and bruised throughout the game -- an elbow to the mouth from Marcelo drew blood, Casemiro persistently fouled him, Sergio Ramos was sent off for a two-footed challenge -- Messi, having already scored once, popped up to score the winning goal in a five-goal thriller in the 92nd minute.
Messi's two goals on the night make it 500th goals (official goals) for Barcelona and it was against a strong rival like Real Madrid in El_Classico. Having already scored once, the Argentine forward silenced fans at Santiago Bernabeu stadium to Real Madrid 3-2 to move to the top of La Liga on goal difference and as well head-to-head advantage. Messi celebrates in styles stood in front of the Madrid fans, his shirt held out in front of him, urging them to read his name.
Messi's Barcelona first goal was about 12-years ego, when he score a lobbing over Albacete goalkeeper Raul Valbuena and since Messi has moved-on with series of goals at the different levels such as hat tricks against Madrid, title-clinchers at the Vicente Calderon, dazzling Copa del Rey final solo efforts, Champions League heroics, Super Cup winners (also against Madrid) etc.
