Real Madrid Vs. Barcelona 2011, El Clasico: Series Of Corners For Real Madrid Lead To Nothing

The first corner of the night has gone to the hosts after that long spell of Barcelona control. From the corner, the ball pinged around a bit inside the Barcelona box before popping out to Karim Benzema out on the right. The Real Madrid striker took a touch and then absolutely stung the ball towards goal, leaving Victor Valdes scrambling to make the save. He did, just about, but spilled the ball behind for another corner, which led to a throw in, then a third corner, from which Cristiano Ronaldo headed over the crossbar under heavy pressure from Barcelona centre back Gerard pique.

The last seven minutes or so have been a huge contrast in style - Barcelona kept the ball for five minutes and generated one chance, while Real have been on the attack for two and generated a flurry of chances. They should have had one more chance, though - the referee inexplicably failed to penalise Carlos Puyol for a clear trip on Ronaldo as he was threatening to break into the box.
