Real Madrid Vs. Barcelona 2011, El Clasico: Cristiano Ronaldo Levels Score With Penalty

Another free kick for Real Madrid, another waste. This time it wasn't really a shooting chance as the ball was spotted thirty yards out and well on the left flank, but the cross was well overhit and Sergio Ramos was nowhere near getting on the end of it. They won't care about all the wasted opportunities, however - they now at level pegging thanks to Cristiano Ronaldo scoring his first Clasico goal.

Emmanuel Adebayor looked to have wasted a huge chance to get Real back into the game by overruning the ball in the penalty area, but possession was eventually shuttled to Marcelo breaking in on the left side, and Dani Alves lunged in rather recklessly. Marcelo went down and César Muñiz Fernández pointed straight to the spot, booking Victor Valdes for dissent, but not issuing a card to Alves, who was already on a yellow. Ronaldo stepped up to the spot and hammered an unsaveable penalty into the top right corner, sending Valdes the wrong way. It's now Real Madrid 1-1 Barcelona at the Santiago Bernabeu, and Madrid look to have salvaged some pride here today.
