First blood:
Ronaldo struck the first blow when he unleashed a fierce drive inside the near post
Ronaldo then became the first player to score in six consecutive Clasicos on 22 minutes when fed by Karim Benzema. It was a goal more in keeping with Barcelona's style - Xabi Alonso, Ozil, Marcelo and Sami Khedira all exchanging passes.
Messi made it 1-1 eight minutes later. Andres Iniesta played the ball out to Pedro and when his cross hit Alonso the Real Madrid player got himself tangled up with Pepe and as neither cleared, Messi scored.
Back on terms:
It didn't take long for Messi to haul his side back on level terms from close range...
...but Real Madrid cried foul after Pepe ended up on his backside in the build up to the equaliser
Big claim:
There were several penalty shouts waved away, notably when Andres Iniesta hit the deck after the break
The Portuguese hit his free kick into the wall and on the hour his nemesis had the chance from a similar distance and left Iker Casillas flapping in the wind to make it 2-1 to Barcelona.
Ronaldo tried and failed with a bicycle kick as Real pushed for the equaliser. Then, with 66 minutes gone, he ran on to an Ozil pass drew Victor Valdes and slotted in the second. It was anything you can do, I can do just as well.
Stunning:
Messi produced the goal of the night when he shaped a glorious freekick up and into the net
Right place:
Ronaldo showed his class again after springing the offside trap, despite Victor Valdes' protests
Special occasion:
Barcelona fans used the match as a chance to call for independence for Catalunya
