Barca enjoyed a dream start, with Lionel Messi teeing up Andres Iniesta, who fired his shot high into the net past Real goalkeeper Diego Lopez with just seven minutes on the clock.

Real's response was emphatic. Winger Angel di Maria and striker Karim Benzema twice combining to turn the match on its head. First, Di Maria crossed for Benzema to plant a firm header beyond Victor Valdes (pictured). Moments later the duo did it again, Benzema taking one touch before volleying beyond Valdes following another fine cross from Argentina's Di Maria.

Real were on top but Barca fought back, four-time FIFA Ballon d'Or winner Messi shooting low past Lopez to level the score at 2-2 just before half time.

In the second half, Real were awarded a penalty when Dani Alves was adjudged to have tripped Cristiano Ronaldo, although the foul looked to have been committed outside of the box. Ronaldo stepped up to confidently convert the penalty and restore Real's lead.

Barca bounced back once again. Real defender Sergio Ramos was sent off for bringing down Neymar, the 19th red card of his career, and Barca had a penalty of their own. Messi was on hand from the spot to level the match at 3-3.

With Real down to 10 men, Barca took control. Xabi Alonso fouled Iniesta and Barca were awarded another penalty, the third of this pulsating contest. Messi scored once again to complete his hat-trick, the 26th treble of his career. It was enough to seal a 4-3 win for Barca.
