Lionel Messi scored the first goal of the classic between Barcelona and Real Madrid that was played at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami (United States). Less than three minutes had passed since the start of the match when the Argentine beat Keilor Navas with a remarkable finish.
Messi received the ball 15 meters from the area after a pass from Uruguayan Luis Suarez, eluded Luka Modric with a feint and shot at goal. A rebound off Raphael Varane's foot deflected the ball, which flew over the Costa Rican goalkeeper.
Real Madrid and Barcelona are playing an intense match that, at the end of the first half, already has two goals on each side. Barcelona took the lead with Messi and Ivan Rakitic's early goals, and Madrid recovered and equalized with goals from Mateo Kovacic and Marco Asensio.
