It is four months since Luis Suarez sunk his teeth into Giorgio Chiellini and absented himself from football for his brief sabbatical. On Saturday evening at the Bernabeu he re-emerged and time away from the game had not withered him nor has psychiatric counselling dimmed his spirit. But good though he is, he cannot yet conjure miracles. He may have added intensity, ferocity and guile to an already formidable Barcelona attack - but as a collective unit they do not have the tools to stop Cristiano and Co at present.

MAN OF THE MATCH : Karim Benzema (Real Madrid): The French striker has become a big game player for Real Madrid. Benzema has now scored in each of his last three league Clasico games, and was at his fast and furious best against Barca once again. He could have, and probably should have, scored more than just once, proving too much for Pique throughout the game.
