Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s superb second-half volley secured 10-man Barcelona a 1-0 victory over fierce rivals Real Madrid in ‘El Clasico’ at the Nou Camp.
Ibrahimovic replaced Thierry Henry shortly into the second half and fired Barca in front less than five minutes later as he volleyed home Dani Alves’ cross, ensuring the Catalans moved back to the top of the Primera Division standings after 12 matches.
Barca went down to 10 men with almost half an hour still left, when Sergio Busquets was sent off for a second bookable offence. However, Madrid later had Lassana Diarra sent off for a second yellow card.
