Real Madrid ended their two-game slide by winning El Clasico on Saturday, taking down Barcelona on the road 3-1. It was a game that Real controlled and looked very sharp, especially in the second half. Real had lost to Cadiz last weekend and Shakhtar Donetsk on Wednesday in the Champions League, but a second-half penalty from Sergio Ramos and a late goal from Luka Modric lifted Zinedine Zidane’s team to three big points, mounting the pressure on Barca coach Ronald Koeman.
