Perhaps one of the most iconic Clasico’s if not the most iconic one in recent history for Real Madrid. The importance of this game was absolutely monumental – a win would effectively seal the title for Jose Mourinho’s Real Madrid, who had been sensational to this point. 121 goals were scored that season, 100 points were registered – these 3 points were the most vital. Considering the magnitude of just that alone – this is accelerated ten-fold when the game that this must be done is a way to Barcelona.

Barcelona had a stranglehold on the league title, winning 3 on the bounce, they were undefeated in 54 home games and Madrid only held a single win in 9 attempts against Barca before this. With Sami Khedira opening the scoring, Barca equalized 72 minutes in however on the 73rd minute, Ronaldo bagged his 54th goal of the campaign and effectively handed the title to Madrid, opening a 9 point lead with 4 games remaining. However the most iconic thing about this? The celebration!
