Barcelona have given themselves a fighting chance of a late comeback in their crunch El Clasico showdown in Madrid.
Zinedine Zidane‘s side forced themselves into a dominant 2-0 lead at half time thanks to goals from Karim Benzema and Toni Kroos.
Barcelona boss Ronald Koeman opted to bring on Antoine Griezmann at half time and the French international played a key role as Oscar Mingueza poked the visitors back into it on the hour mark.
Jordi Alba‘s clipped cross caused problems in the Real Madrid box and Griezmann’s clever dummy created the space for Mingueza to tuck home past Courtois.
