El Clasico: 5 instances where Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo were outshone

#4 Sergio Ramos pegs Barcelona at the death with another late header

Sergio Ramos is well known for his penchant for late goals

Sergio Ramos and late headed goals, to go by the cliche, "are still a better love story than Twilight". The Real Madrid skipper has developed a knack of popping up with crucial goals in the dying embers, to lift his team out of a lurch (Lisbon 2014, anyone?)

So it was one of those cases again, where he would come out of nowhere and make the difference. This time, in an El Clasico.

On the 3rd of December, 2016, in one of the most underwhelming contests between the sides in recent memory, hosts Barcelona led in the second-half through a Luis Suarez header, setting them on their way to seemed would be a narrow 1-0 victory in La Liga.

In a set-piece corner in the 90th minute, Sergio Ramos jumped the highest to nod the ball home and scored the equaliser which forced a share of the spoils.

The Spaniard was once again the hero of his side, as Real Madrid would walk away with a point.

Messi and Ronaldo both endured a quiet evening, failing to contribute on any front, let alone in the attack. It was one of those rare occasions where an El Clasico was done, and neither of them was in the news, well, aside for their picture together.
