Real Madrid beats Barcelona 3-1 in El Clasico

Real Madrid conceded in the fourth minute but fought back to beat archrival Barcelona for a 3-1 victory in El Clasico at the Santiago Bernabeu on Saturday.

Neymar gave Barcelona the early lead with a strike set up by Luis Suarez, who made his Barça debut after a four-month ban for his infamous World Cup bite. But Real Madrid equalized thanks to Gerard Pique's handball in the box and Ronaldo's subsequent penalty, then took the lead for good in the second half from the most unlikely source.
