Sunday’s Clasico will be remembered as one of the most thrilling of the modern era.Very few people expected Barcelona to beat Real Madrid at the Bernabeu - and even fewer thought it was possible after Zinedine Zidane’s side took the lead following Casemiro’s opener midway through the first half.However, everything changed once Lionel Messi scored his excellent equaliser five minutes later. Luis Enrique’s men suddenly rediscovered their belief.Ivan Rakitic rifled home an excellent goal in the 73rd minute to make it 2-1 Barcelona and Sergio Ramos was sent off shortly afterwards.But in a game full of twists and turns, James Rodriguez popped up with an equalising goal with five minutes left on the clock.

Messi was the star of Sunday's Clasico

That, however, meant there was still enough time for Messi to win the match for the visitors.

The five-time Ballon d’Or winner scored in the second and final minute of stoppage time to silence the Bernabeu.

Ronaldo’s reaction said it all. This was a wasted opportunity for Real Madrid. Moreover, they’d just allowed Barça back into the title race.

Cristiano, knowing his ultra-competitive nature, was probably also fearing that Messi’s performance had enhanced the Barça star’s chances of winning a record sixth Ballon d’Or award in December.

Ronaldo, determined to finish his career as the greatest footballer in history, has the opportunity to win a joint-record fifth Ballon d’Or winner at the end of this year.

Ronaldo and Messi had brief chat before Clasico

The excellent Spanish football show El Día Después have released new footage of Messi throughout the Clasico and there was an interesting moment in the seconds prior to kick off.

Ronaldo, who looked full of confidence, turned to Messi and said “Vamos” - which, of course, translates as ‘Come on’.

Messi seemed a little bit confused and responded by saying: “Eh?”

Perhaps he was in the zone and didn’t hear his old rival.

Ronaldo repeated the word again while looking at Messi before smiling and putting his arm around his shoulder.

It was a nice moment from the Real Madrid icon, although you sense Messi would rather have been left alone.
