Two goals in two minutes from Robert Lewandowski has put Barcelona on the verge of a major El Clasico win at Real Madrid.
The first half in the Spanish capital failed to ignite as a chess match between the two age-old rivals did to produce a breakthrough before the interval.
However, just as the contest looked set for another tight bout in the second period, Lewnadowski showed his razor sharp instincts twice inside 90 seconds.
Marc Casado’s superb line breaking pass released the Poland international in behind the Los Blancos defence and he confidently fired home his first ever league goal against Real Madrid.
