Highlights : Rakitic Scores As Real Madrid Lose Again To FC Barcelona
Real Madrid 0 – 1 Barcelona Football Highlights
Goal : 26′ 0 – 1 Ivan Rakitic
It’s a Messi-esque goal in truth as Rakitic is played in behind Real’s defence, and he coolly dinks the ball over the onrushing Courtois.

Preview
Real Madrid will be out to avenge their 3 – 0 Copa Del Rey loss to League bitter rivals FC Barcelona three days ago in front of their home fans (Santiago Bernebeu).
FC Barcelona will be hoping to complete a League double on Real Madrid, having defeated them 5 – 1 the first league fixture. A win against Madrid today will leave them twelve points apart on the La Liga standings.
Luis Suarez scored twice and Varane netted an own goal to complete Real Madrid’s disgrace and knock out from the Copa Del Rey during the midweek but despite Barcelona’s supremacy Ernesto Valverde doesn’t expect another easy win against Madrid this week.
“It’s difficult to repeat a result against the same opponent, but we will try to win because the league demands it.
“When you win, you gain confidence, but when you lose you want to reverse that, so it will be a tough match.”
Team News
Raphael Varner is expected to be fit for the Barcelona game, despite having a nasty cut in the game against the Catalans during the midweek. Marcos Llorente is also a doubt due to muscular problem.
FC Barcelona have no injury concerns ahead of the game.
