Barcelona poke fun at Real Madrid on Twitter after second El Clasico win at Bernabeu

It was a case of deja vu for both Real Madrid and Barcelona at the Bernabeu on Saturday - and LaLiga leaders Barca were not shy about letting their Clasico rivals know about it.

Ivan Rakitic's fine first-half goal proved enough to give Barcelona a hard-earned 1-0 win over Real at the Bernabeu as the Blaugrana continued their El Clasico dominance.

Barcelona had completed a 3-0 victory in the Copa del Rey semi-finals on Wednesday night and never looked like being stretched after Rakitic's clever chip broke the deadlock after 26 minutes.

Tempers almost boiled over at half-time when Lionel Messi looked to have been caught by a stray arm from Los Blancos captain Sergio Ramos.

There were, though, few clear-cut chances for Real, who are now winless in their last six league games against their rivals.

Barcelona are now 12 points clear of Los Blancos and 10 ahead of second-placed Atletico Madrid, who host Leganes on Sunday.

Barca had posted a victory celebration video from inside the Bernabeu away dressing room on Wednesday night, and followed up Saturday's win with another and the following caption: "Deja vu!"

The result was another painful setback for Real, whose only realistic chance of a trophy this season now looks to be defending their Champions League trophy - a tall order, especially with Barca in this kind of form.
