Real Madrid vs Barcelona: Twitter explodes as Casemiro gives Los Blancos the lead

Casemiro was at the right place as Barcelona’s defence was caught napping after Marcelo’s cross met Sergio Ramos at the far post. The ball bounced off the near post and fell to the Brazilian midfielder who was unmarked at the far post. He made no mistake and slotted home the first goal of the game.

Here’s how twitter reacted:

#Casemiro goal! #ElClasico pic.twitter.com/t62ppce5Zn

Casemiro needed that goal. His career would've taken a major hit. Leo is absolutely toying with him

I stand corrected... Ramos AND Ronaldo were both onside for Casemiro' goal.

Casemiro scores. Not bad for a player was living perilously after taking a yellow and having the unenviable job of marking Messi #ElClassico

Unlikely scorer. Casemiro scores!!

Casemiro scores the first goal - pretty poor defending on the corner, but the entire real madrid were offside for that goal.
