5 Best performances in El Clasico history

#2 Cristiano Ronaldo - Barcelona 1-3 Real Madrid, 26th February 2013

With 18 goals in the Clasico, only one player has ever netted more goals in this fixture than the brilliant Cristiano Ronaldo. The forward almost always stepped up against his club's bitter rivals, and he has delivered some memorable performances over the years. However, his most impressive perhaps remains in the Copa del Rey semi-finals, in the second leg at the Camp Nou in 2013.

The first leg at the Bernabeu ended 1-1, with Barcelona having the advantage due to their away goal. The Los Blancos headed to Camp Nou for the second leg, knowing that they had to score at least twice to advance in normal time. Ronaldo stepped up.

After dispatching a powerful penalty past Victor Valdes in the 12th minute, the Portuguese superstar silenced Camp Nou with a left-footed goal near the hour mark to give his team a 0-2 lead in a very hostile atmosphere. The winger was lively throughout the game and troubled the likes of Carles Puyol and Gerard Pique who had difficulty dealing with Ronaldo's direct attacks. The game ended 1-3 in favour of the visitors, and Madrid would go on to advance to the finals.
