Real Madrid mocked by the Pique but Ramos was fine with that, as long as they succeeded the battle and went back into first place.
Goals from Vinicius Junior and Mariano Diaz earned Real an amazing victory. With three points enabling the home side to leapfrog Barca into absolute leadership on the La Liga standings.
Zidane set Los Blancos up proactively with two holding midfielders. Vinicius Junior and Federico Valverde were out wide. The latter two sat deep off the ball to practically form a flat midfield. The lung-busting Valverde’s existence on the right guaranteed Jordi Alba had little luck in attack and a lot to think about at the back.
Pragmatic? Probably, but Madrid’s formation certainly contributed to restricting Barca’s supply of chances. Messi kept uncharacteristically silent.
With the score deadlocked without a goal at half-time, Pique disclosed he was amazed at the low level of Real’s performance in the first half. He was unhappy to not take advantage.
Pique’s Criticism of Los Blancos
 Real’s opener in the 71st minute with Vinicius’ shot deflecting off Pique to wrong foot Marc-Andre ter Stegen.
Mariano shut the match in stoppage time. As his scuffed hit from a tight angle leapt over Barca’s German keeper.
Real Madrid now moves one point ahead of Barcelona in the league standings.
Ramos Strikes Back
Sergio Ramos slapped back at Gerard Pique over his critique of Los Blancos. Saying he would sign up to win every El Clasico playing as poorly as the Pique implied. With 12 La Liga matches remaining, Madrid holds a one-point lead over their enemies. Having lost just two league matches this campaign.

While delighted with the advantage, Ramos advised his side to remain focused late in the season. The victory came on the back of a chastening home collapse to Manchester City. In the UCL midweek. A match in which Ramos was sent off for a foul on Gabriel Jesus.
Setback in El Clasico would have left Real Madrid five points behind Barca and with a peak to climb.
