Samuel Eto’o opening the scoring for Barca after five minutes but Fernando Torres equalised on the 17th minute. The second half was barely a minute old when Mateja Kezman produced a stunning header - which proved to be the winner.

Real Madrid completed a miserable week when they slipped to a third defeat in a row, losing 1-0 at Espanyol.
