El Clasico: Barcelona 2-2 Real Madrid



Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo continued their remarkable goal scoring duel as the pair each scored twice in Barcelona's draw with Real Madrid.
Ronaldo squeezed a shot in at the near post on 23 minutes to set a new record for scoring in consecutive El Clasicos.
Karim Benzema hit the post two minutes later, but Messi got his first after Pepe misjudged a ricochet in the box.
The Argentine scored his 10th of the season from a 25-yard free-kick but Ronaldo tucked in Mesut Ozil's pass.
Martin Montoya, on for Dani Alves, almost won it for the hosts late on when he struck a curling shot against the bar.

And prior to that Messi, 25, could have completed a hat-trick but fired wide following Jordi Alba's cutback.
The game was even tempered compared to recent fiery encounters, and it was the two finest players in world football who made all the headlines as they once again demonstrated their worth to their respective teams.
