Barcelona player ratings after 2-1 Real Madrid win: Catalans claim El Clasico bragging rights thanks to Suarez magic

CB: Gerard Pique – 7

Solid and effective in the centre of defence and it was only a delicious back heel from Benzema that somehow got Ronaldo in for Real’s goal.

CB: Jeremy Mathieu – 7

Disciplined and strong in the tackle, Mathieu was the unlikely first scorer for Barca but what a time to get his first league goal for the club since his summer move.
