On Sunday, the 26-time champion lost the 185th Clasico against Real 3-1 and had to give up the lead in the table to the royal team.

Just four minutes later, the former Bayern star moved in from the left and curled the ball from 18 meters into the right corner, it was his 16th goal of the season in all competitions and the eleventh in the league.
