Neymar shines as Barcelona win El Clasico

Brazilian and Sanchez net in deserved victory over Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale’s Real Madrid.

Barcelona: Neymar stole the show from the likes of Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale when the Brazilian’s strike set Barcelona on the way to a 2-1 win over Real Madrid in Saturday’s El Clasico at the Nou Camp.

In a La Liga match watched by millions around the world, Barca landed a blow in the title race when Neymar scored a clinical goal in the 19th minute before substitute Alexis Sanchez netted with a brilliant chip 11 minutes from time in the 167th league meeting between the bitter rivals.

Real Madrid Projected Lineup for El Clásico

Like it or not, Ancelotti will likely have to pick a good defensive team to play against Barcelona. As he stated in his press conference, it's very difficult to keep the ball away from Messi, Iniesta, Xavi and company, so it could be better for Real Madrid to turn into a counterattacking side.

Luckily enough for him, Ancelotti has recovered every single player in the roster with the exception of Xabi Alonso. It would have been great to have Xabi against Barcelona, but the Spanish midfielder will have to wait. Considering the team is playing well with the 4-3-3 formation, Ancelotti will likely deploy that formation again. Illarramendi and Khedira will be in the midfield with Luka Modric being the most creative player on Real's midfield. The Croatian player's ability to defend is better than Isco, so Ancelotti would be smart to start him.

MATCH REPORT: FC Barcelona 4-1 Real Sociedad

FC Barcelona hosted a Champion League team, Real Sociedad, at the Camp Nou in what promised to be a tight affair.

Teams exchanged goals in the second half, with Alberto de la Bella scoring for the visitor, and Marc Bartra replying for Barcelona.

The rotation of starters continued for Barça and Gerardo Martino, who for this game left Cesc Fabregas on the stands while Pedro took a place on the bench.
