How Barca Triumph At Real Again

Barcelona inflicted a second defeat on Real Madrid in four days as Ivan Rakitic’s strike secured a 1-0 win at the Bernabeu on Saturday.
After knocking Real out of the Copa del Rey on Wednesday, Rakitic’s first-half chip (26) helped Barca stretch their lead at the top of La Liga to 10 points.
Atletico Madrid will look close that gap on Sunday at Real Sociedad, but for Real Madrid their title challenge is effectively over after an eighth league loss of the season left them 12 points adrift.
