Real Madrid CF rode on a late goal from Sergio Ramos to defeat Real Betis 2-1 and return to the top of La Liga.
Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos struck another late winner as the European champions usurped Barcelona at the top of La Liga with a hard-fought 2-1 win over Real Betis on Sunday.
Earlier, Barca boss Luis Enrique accepted his side had struggled to shrug off the euphoria of a remarkable Champions League comeback against Paris Saint-Germain as the Spanish champions slumped to a shock 2-1 defeat at Deportivo la Coruna.
Victory for Madrid moves Real two points clear of Barcelona and with a game in hand still to come.
“I would be happier if we scored two or three goals at the start,” said Real coach Zinedine Zidane.
“But we remain calm because we know we can score at any moment.”
However, Madrid’s win was mired in controversy as goalkeeper Keylor Navas was extremely lucky to avoid an early red card before making a brilliant stoppage time save to deny Antonio Sanabria.
