Real Madrid draw pushed Barcelona closer to the Liga Title

A disastrous first half for Real Madrid saw them 2-0 down to goals from Paco Alcacer and Javi Fuego, and although Pepe and Isco evened things up after the break, this looks a huge setback to Madrid's title chances
. The result means Barcelona are four points clear in the La Liga title race with just two games left on the official fixture list.

Pretty much everything that could go wrong did for Madrid in a horror-show first 45 minutes. Carlo Ancelotti's side actually started very well. Gareth Bale curled a superb 25-yard free kick off the crossbar with 13 minutes played, and Cristiano Ronaldo then planted a header off the frame of the goal five minutes after that. It seemed Los Blancos were playing with the intensity their coach called for at Friday's pregame news conference.
