Barcelona were the comeback heroes at the Bernabeu as the champions came back from a goal down to defeat bitter rivals Real Madrid 3-1 in the seventh and final clasico of the year 2011
Jose Mourinho's men took the lead after only 22 seconds when Karim Benzema grabbed the quickest goal in Clasico history. The home side were pegged back on the half hour mark when Alexis Sanchez grabbed an equaliser in his first league appearance against Madrid.
A Xavi volley took a fortuitous deflection off Marcelo to give the visitors the lead, before Cesc Fabregas' header finished off a wonderful team move in the 66th minute in what proved to be the fixture's final strike.
The victory sends Barcelona level on points with Jose Mourinho's men and to the top of the Liga table due to their superior head-to-head record against Madrid, who have a game in hand.
