Former Barcelona midfielder Ivan Rakitic has given his assessment of Sunday’s El Clasico defeat, saying Jose Mourinho neutralised the Catalan side’s main strength.
Barcelona were beaten 2-1 by Real Madrid at home, with Kylian Mbappe scoring both of the visitors’ goals.
The result reduced Barcelona’s lead over Real Madrid in the La Liga table to three points. Atletico remain in second place, one point ahead of their neighbours.
