He then shared justice in the match at the Santiago Bernabeu, where Barça won 3-2 with a late goal, Ramo again being red-carded.

The other match commented was at the Camp Nou in a 2-2 draw, a challenge in which Marcelos was denied a penalty until Madrid got a goal because the referee did not stop the action though it was clearly seen that Suarez had made an unlawful interference.
