Goal Messi Free Kick Barcelona 2 - 2 Real Madrid HD 07/10/2012
Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo continued their remarkable goal scoring duel as the pair each scored twice inBarcelona's draw with Real Madrid.
Ronaldo squeezed a shot in at the near post on 23 minutes to set a new record for scoring in consecutive El Clasicos. Karim Benzema hit the post two minutes later, but Messi got his first after Pepe misjudged a ricochet in the box.
The Argentine scored his 10th of the season from a 25-yard free-kick but Ronaldo tucked in Mesut Ozil's pass. Martin Montoya, on for Dani Alves, almost won it for the hosts late on when he struck a curling shot against the bar.
And prior to that Messi, 25, could have completed a hat-trick but fired wide following Jordi Alba's cutback. Madrid should have been 2-0 up within two minutes as the ball was fed to Benzema, again unmarked, but he scuffed a shot against the post from 12 yards, with Angel Di Maria missing the follow-up.
Dani Alves had left plenty of room for Ronaldo's goal and the full-back was replaced, clutching his hamstring, by Montoya in a nightmare spell for the hosts. Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo were both in scintilating form as Barcelona and Real Madrid played out an enthralling 2-2 draw at Camp Nou in the first Liga Clasico of this season.
Despite coming as just the seventh fixture of the season, the match was touted as having a potentially huge impact on the final Liga outcome. With Madrid in need of a win, Ronaldo got them off to the perfect start as he silenced the crowd with his sixth consecutive Clasico goal.
But a brace from Messi, including a sumptuous second-half free kick, put the Blaugrana in the driving seat. However, the last had not been heard of Ronaldo and he capitalised on a disorganised defence to equalise 25 minutes from time.
