Real Madrid ’deserved victory’ after wild Clasico against Barcelona

"We're still in it," said Barca coach Ronald Koeman.

Messi might yet turn the tide in the eight games still remaining but there is no doubt Madrid are in the groove after backing up beating Liverpool 3-1 on Tuesday with another crucial victory. A breathless first half began with chances for both sides as Marc-Andre ter Stegen's sloppy clearance almost gave Benzema a clear run at goal before Messi slipped in Jordi Alba but the cross was intercepted by Thibaut Courtois.

The goal shook Barca, who were unable to restrain the speed of Madrid and particularly Vinicius Junior on the break.
