Barcelona 2-2 Real Madrid: Barca cling on to unbeaten La Liga record despite Sergio Roberto red card as Gareth Bale strike earns a point in El Clasico and Cristiano Ronaldo limps off with twisted ankle

Luis Suarez struck the opening goal of the Clasico for Barcelona, his 30th strike in all competitions
Cristiano Ronaldo silenced the Nou Camp to bring Real level just five minutes later from close range
Ronaldo needed treatment after being caught while scoring and was substituted off at half time
Sergi Roberto was sent off in first half stoppage time for lashing out at Marcelo with an apparent slap
But 10-man Barcelona retook the lead when Lionel Messi produced his magic to shoot into bottom corner
However Gareth Bale struck superbly from the edge of the area to score Real's second equaliser

Cristiano Ronaldo twisted an ankle and had to come off at half time in a bad-tempered Clasico just three weeks before the Champions League final against Liverpool.

However Gareth Bale stepped into his shoes and scored the goal that earned Real Madrid a point after both Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi had scored for Barcelona.

It was some night for Bale who could have been sent off in the first half and was finally booked in the second period, but only after he had reminded everyone of his ability to deliver spectacular goals on big occasions.
