Barcelona, Spain
Ronaldo scored with a beautiful strike to make it 2-1 in the 80th minute — after coming on in the 58th — and earned a yellow card for taking off his shirt to flex his muscles at Camp Nou.
Ronaldo will miss Wednesday’s second leg in Madrid after being booked again just two minutes after scoring for diving in the area, following contact with Barcelona defender Samuel Umtiti. Ronaldo gave the referee a shove in the back after seeing the red card.
Madrid went ahead in the 50th from an own-goal by Barcelona defender Gerard Pique.
Lionel Messi equalized for Barcelona in the 77th when he converted a penalty after Luis Suarez was fouled by goalkeeper Keylor Navas, taking his “clasico” goal record to 24 against Barcelona’s fiercest rival.
While Ronaldo’s goal was a blow, substitute Marco Asensio’s 90th-minute strike — with Madrid playing with 10 men — left Barcelona in a deep hole for the second leg.
