Madrid's "Real" measures the crown of Spanish champions - Jose Mourinho's pupils in a principled match in Catalonia defeated "Barcelona" 2-1 and increased the gap in the league table to seven points.
Sami Khedira put the visitors ahead in the first half, taking advantage of Carles Puyol's mistake and sending the ball into the net.
Although in the 70th minute Alexis Sanchez equalized - it was the first home team's shot on goal - almost in the next attack Cristiano Ronaldo defeated Victor Valdes for the second time and silenced the crowd at "Camp Nou."
Tactically well-prepared visitors managed to successfully neutralize most of the opponents' attacks. However, this was also contributed to by the fact that in the Champions League semi-final, "Real" played on Tuesday, while "Barcelona" had one day less of rest, as they faced "Chelsea" in London on Wednesday.
