El Clasico is one of the best matches in the football calendar. The last decade made it spicier due to the presence of Ronaldo and Messi on the opposite sides. An El Clasico win is like a trophy for both the sides.

The 2017 Clasicos were no different. Barcelona and Real Madrid faced each other in the business end of the La Liga season at Santiago Bernabeu. The match had every element that El Classico was expected to have. Ramos was sent off in the 77th minute. Two sides were tied 2-2 until the 90th minute.

Then came the magical moment when the little magician from Barcelona scored the winning goal. He displayed the back side of his shirt to the Madrid fans as a gesture of mocking them.

Real Madrid won the La Liga that season to face the Copa del Rey champions Barcelona in the next season's Super Cup. Real and Barcelona were tied 1-1 until the 80th minute after Messi's penalty equalized Pique's own goal.

Ronaldo stepped up when it mattered the most. He scored a brilliant goal after cutting past Pique. He took off his shirt and showed his muscle power to the Barcelona fans.
