Real Madrid: Top 5 performances from 3-1 win over Barcelona
Real Madrid CB Sergio Ramos
And how could this top five list be complete without the captain, Sergio Ramos? Quite literally perfect from the penalty spot in his career, the Real Madrid superstar added another to his tally by calmly dispatching the ball past Neto into the bottom left corner. And better yet, Ramos was the one who won the penalty, forcing a head-scratching shirt-pull foul from a frightened Clement Lenglet in the penalty box.
Ramos was missed badly in the Champions League, yet again, vs. Shakhtar Donetsk, and we knew he would be decisive in El Clasico. The man didn’t disappoint in this all-important clash at the Camp Nou, making decisive clearances and interventions to go with the penalty goal.
In total, Ramos had three tackles, three interceptions, four clearances, and a blocked shot in a complete, commanding performance. He even had three shots on target and showed off his passing accuracy with nearly 95 percent of his attempts completed.

There’s nothing Sergio Ramos can’t do. The Real Madrid captain is a more complete player at center back than many strikers or midfielders, which is a testament to his tactical maturity and his technique. And Ramos’ leadership counts for more than anything else to Los Blancos. He is the man without a price.
