- Barcelona's front-3 combined within 3 minutes to fire the first goal.
- Neymar opened the scoring for Barca with a superd goal in the 3rd minute thanks to a brilliant cross by Louis Suarez who looked great in the first half but rusty in the 2nd& ultimately was substituted in the 69th minute.
- Ronaldo leveled with style in the 34th minute thanks to Gerrard Pique who appeared to slip and accidentally conceded a penalty.
- Madrid went 2-1 ahead in the 50th minute with a bullet-header from defender Pepe on Toni Kroos' well crafted corner kick.
- Barcelona left themselves dangerously open at the back in an attempt to equalize but it backfired into a team move for Real as Iniesta played in to Ronaldo who connected with James Rodriguez to find Benzema for a through-ball. Benzema thus, sealing the victory for Real Madrid in the 61st minute with the scoreline reading 3-1.
- Lionel Messi missed several chances mainly due to being bogged down by too many Madrid defenders.
- Luka Modric & Toni Kroos controlled the pace in the Midfield.
- Iker Casillas had a superb game and answered his critics who questioned his place in the Madrid side.

Its Lionel Messi vs Cristiano Ronaldo once again, for what appears to be about the 3843732839244th time in the last decade, this time both of the greats gunning up for all-time scoring record in the Champions League.
The duo are inseparable rivals of the decade like any other sport has had in the past, Muhammad Ali & Joe Frazier in Boxing, Bjorn Borg & John McEnroe in Tennis, these two thrive due to each other, its almost as if they are parasites feeding of each others brilliance, trying to one-up each other on every step of their careers.
Currently the Portuguese captain Ronaldo has 69 goals in his account while Messi sits on 68.
Its just a matter of 'when' rather than 'if' the all-time scoring record of 71 goals held by Spaniard Raul will be surpassed.
The degree of competitiveness can be measured from the last 5 years since Ronaldo came to Madrid, he has netted 54 goals in 53 Champions league appearances whereas Messi scored 51 times in 55 matches.
Prior to this move, Ronaldo had scored only 15 goals in 52 appearances for Man Utd & Messi scored 17 goals in his 35 games for Barca.
It is quite evident that these two legends need each other. Ronaldo & Messi are destined to chase each other in the hunt for more trophies, achievements, records & goals till they finally hang up their boots.
One thing is for sure, barring any injuries, the mark for most goals scored by a player in Champions League is set be exchanged multiple times between the two of them for seasons to come.

Messi didn't deserve Golden Ball, feels Ronaldo
Portuguese Captain Cristiano Ronaldo thinks that rival footballer Lionel Messi didn’t deserve to win the World Cup 2014 Golden Ball award this summer after the Real Madrid star joked he would be sent to prison if he gave his real opinion.
The Argentina Captain beat World Cup winner Thomas Muller & Colombia's revelation James Rodriguez to the award after scoring 4 goals at the FIFA World Cup 2014 in Brazil & carrying Argentina to the final, which they ultimately lost to Germany.
Argentina legend Diego Maradona revealed that he thought FIFA’s decision to award Messi with the Golden Ball was based on commercial & emotional reasons, Ronaldo has now hinted that the Barcelona star did not do enough during football's greatest competition to win the Golden Ball.
“If I said everything that I think, I would be in prison,” said Ronaldo, who picked up UEFA's Player of the Year award this week, when asked about his thoughts on whether his rival had earned the award.
“Everyone can see, make their own judgements, the people in the world of football are intelligent.
“It would be a very interesting question for him. I cannot be honest about it.”
The rivalry between these two superstars has been active for over half a decade now, with the Ronaldo getting one over on Messi in the Ballon d'Or earlier this year after losing out to the him for 4 consecutive years.

The winner will be declared on August 28 in Monaco, where the draw for the group stage of the Champions League is taking place.
One of these 3 men will be the succesor to last year's winner Franck Ribery.
The deciding jury consists of journalists from the 54 member associations of UEFA.
Neuer & Robben both play for Bayern Munich, who won the domestic league & cup double in Germany last season, while Manuel Neuer was the outstanding goalkeeper at the World Cup and Robben impressed the world as the Netherlands finished third.
Ronaldo did not have the best of World Cup's, probably due to a very mediocre side he was leading, but he did star as Real Madrid won the Champions League & Copa del Rey.

Cristiano Ronaldo's Body is a Sponsorship Machine
Cristiano Ronaldo's Body is a Sponsorship Machine
Cristiano Ronaldo is perhaps the most famous player in the world of football. He looks like somebody's animated, with the DNA of Elvis Presley, and given a soccer ball. This makes the Real Madrid forward one of the most in-demand endorsers.
Brands want to be associated with everything from his powerful right foot to the occasionally frosted tips of his hair. Nike pays him almost $10 million per year to wear its cleats and apparel.
This week he caused a minor sensation with his endorsement on Japanese television of an exercise device called the Facial Fitness PAO. It was one of the most bizzare celeb commercials and pretictably so, caused a stir all over.
But thats not all the big brands in his portfolio.
For those keeping track at home, here’s the Ronaldo portfolio broken down by body part:
