Goals from Sergi Roberto and Franck Kessie canceled out Araujo’s own goal as Barcelona came from behind to defeat Real Madrid in the El Clasico. 

Reigning Spanish champions Real went ahead in El Clasico against the run of play as Vinicius Jr’s cross was headed into his own net by Barcelona defender Ronald Araujo in the 9th minute.

Barca equalised just before half-time through Sergi Roberto’s shot after Raphinha’s effort had been blocked.

Marco Asensio saw a late strike for Los Blancos ruled out for offside six minutes after coming on before substitute Kessie scored a dramatic late winner as Barcelona beat Real Madrid to move 12 points clear in La Liga.

Both sides have 12 league matches remaining and Barca are in a dominant position as they look to win the title for the first time since 2018-19.

Barcelona are next in action on 1 April with an away game at Elche before Real Madrid entertain Real Valladolid the following day.
