More infoFranck Kessie struck a stoppage-time winner for Barcelona in El Clasico as Xavi's spirited side went 12 points clear at the top of La Liga. Real Madrid were ahead in the first half when the electric Vinicius Jr's ball across goal was deflected in off helpless Barcelona defender Ronald Araujo. Yet it was the visitors who thought they had restored their lead just nine minutes from time when Marco Asensio looked to have won Real Madrid all three points. For Real Madrid, this was another growing indication that the club are in need of some fresh faces next summer, when Los Blancos are expected to launch a transfer swoop for Jude Bellingham amongst others.
