Real Madrid and their noisy neighbours Atletico laid on the perfect prelude to the Oscars with an at-times X-rated blockbuster full of action, villainy and bad acting as both sides lost the plot and played out a draw in which the real winner was the third team in the Spanish title race, Barcelona.
Amid the late challenges, dives and recriminations of referee Carlos Ferreiro by both sides, Cristiano Ronaldo still managed to have the last word with the goal that earned Real a point and meant they have now gone 15 years without having been beaten at the home of the city rivals.
Madrid have won 12 and drawn two since Atletico’s last home win against them in 1999 and it was the same old story after just three minute
s when Luka Modric took a short corner to Angel Di Maria and his cross was swept in by an unmarked Karim Benzema.
