Barca closes gap on Real
The key match of the round was the El Clasico between Real Madrid and Barcelona.
Barca went into with just two away wins and Real with a perfect home record and when Real scored in the first minute of the match it looked like they were going to extend their perfect record at home.
The result means that Barca are on equal points with Real but having played one extra match.
Assuming that Real wins its game in hand, they will go three points ahead.
10 goals were scored in the first half whilst 16 were scored after half-time.

El Clasico part one: Real vs Barca
At the moment Real leads Barca by three points but Real has a game in hand.
A win for Real will see them create a six point buffer and its good for the head-to-head at the end of the season.
A win for Barca will see them level with their rivals and will create hope of catching them as they still have to come to the Nou Camp.
Real has a 100% home record from its matches at home whilst Barca has so far struggled on the road.
Barca has won only two matches out of six away from home. The other three were drawn and one was lost.
