Barca Wins 'El Classico' Vs Real Madrid 3-1

After being 3 points behind Real Madrid, Barcelona is now in first place standings in the Spanish Division. After being down 1-0 in the first 30 seconds of the match by a goal from Karim Benzema, Alexis Sánchez scored the equalizer in the 30th minute, with an additional 2 goals by Xavi in the 53rd and Fàbregas in the 66th. Ronaldo could have tied the score in the 65th but his open header from a few yards out went wide. It was a pretty awful match for Ronaldo, I'd imagine many of his fans finished watching the match in disappointment. With a win, Real Madrid would have moved into a commanding position, and would be trailing with a 6 point lead in the league.

Alexis Sánchez Scores Two for Barca

Barcelona’s Alexis Sanchez scored twice to help the Spanish champions return to their winning ways with a 4-0 home victory over Rayo Vallecano in La Liga on Tuesday. The Chilean forward broke the 0-0 score in the 29th minute, and added a second in the 41st. The end result of the match was an easy 4-0 win for Barca. After being out from an injury for nearly 8 weeks, a lot of Barca fans became doubtful of Alexis, questioning if he's even capable of contributing to the best team in the world. If you asked me, I'd say he's a hugely underrated and unrecognized player, as I've been a follower of Alexis for quite awhile now and know that he's capable of many great things, and is among one the best current forwards in the world.
