Saturday’s El Clasico was by no means a classic. However, as is always the case in a match which puts the world at a standstill for 90 minutes, there was no shortage of drama, intrigue and passion. No one spectator better embodied the competitive tension that reverberated around the Camp Nou than Gerard Pique’s partner Shakira.
With Lionel Messi and Neymar both guilty of wasting good chances for Barca, it was Luis Suarez who opened the scoring in the 53rd minute.

However, Sergio Ramos once again came to Madrid’s rescue to save a point, and retain Madrid’s advantage at the top of the table, in the 90th minute.

As you can see, this roller coaster of emotions was almost too much for Shakira, who was equal parts delirious and distraught throughout the match.
