PHOTO: Messi scores as early in the 5minutes, as Barcelona beats Real 3-2 in Miami El Clasico Friendly

The European Champions, Real Madrid suffers yet another defeat from Spanish rival, Barcelona, as Lionel Messi scores as early in the early minutes of  kick off, to give Barcelona a well deserved victory. Goals from Messi and Rakitic gave Barcelona a 3-2 win over Real Madrid in Miami.

The Real Madrid fast rising star, Marco Asensio came in and showed the big boys of Real Madrid how it is done, as he put one back, to level the game before the break.

The game was without the usual el clasico drama, as both teams gave the fans some real el clasico challenge, which the packed up fan in the stadium loved. Unfortunately for the thousands of Real Madrid fans, their team without Ronaldo were beaten from goals from usual suspects on the Barca side. But shortly before the break, the referee waved away Messi's claims for a penalty as he went down under the challenge of three Real players.

Barcelona began the second half the same way they started the first, this time is was an unmarked Pique who poked home from a Neymar freekick five minutes after the restart.
Again, Neymar should have hit the back of the net after being played in on goal, but a touch too many gave Navas enough time to close the angle and the Brazilian fired wide.

A good run from Marcelo saw the left-back race into the Barcelona penalty area, but his shot was easily saved low by Cillessen.

Samuel Umtiti had a shot cleared off the line and Real raced up the other end, with Isco prising an excellent stop from Cillessen once more.
Another unbelievable save from Cillessen denied Isco, who tried to curl one into the far post, but the Dutchman's extended hand turned the ball round the post.

Youngster Dani Ceballos curled wide, Borja Mayoral did the same as Real were unable to find an equaliser.

...In all, it was a good game, and one that shows Zidane have alot of work to do, as their preseason so far, have not gone the way he would have expected, suffering some of the heaviest defeats in their preseason. Hopefully all that would change, when the season start.
