Real Madrid Vs. Barcelona 2011, El Clasico: Marcelo Takes Out Linesman

It's not just the players that are getting hit hard in El Clasico. Real Madrid left back Marcelo has just done the improbable and taken out a linesman with a wayward tackle, the official looking slightly surprised as he was bundled over by the defender. Minutes later, Cristiano Ronaldo was able to burst down the right flank, but Adriano got in the way and Ronaldo was blown for the foul as he tried to retrieve the ball.

Unsurprisingly, Barcelona have had most of the ball, but they've yet to achieve any real penetration into the Real Madrid half. A draw, of course, would suit them just fine here - this is Real's last serious chance to cut the deficit between themselves and their Catalan opponents at the top of the league, and they can't afford drop any points here. If Barcelona simply don't lose, the La Liga title is as good as theirs.
