Casemiro strengthened Los Blancos’ defence in their 2-1 win at El Clasico

The Real Madrid star was instrumental in his side’s 2-1 victory at El Clasico this weekend, breaking up attacks as his teammates Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema scored to defeat hosts Barcelona at the Camp Nou.

His effort was acknowledged by manager Zinedine Zidane, who is also Casemiro’s childhood idol. Following Los Blancos’ victory, the French football icon said he could not “...name one player above the rest of the team,” but that “...Casemiro has been a crucial player for the team.”

The defensive midfielder was responsible for keeping Lionel Messi in check as his side overcame an early 0-1 deficit to defeat their hosts.
