Barcelona head in at the break 2-0 up in their crunch El Clasico trip to Real Madrid thanks to another Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang goal.
The Gabonese international has hit the ground running at the Camp Nou, following his January arrival, with a goal in Madrid bringing his current total up to eight goals in all competitions.
Both sides carved out chances in an high octane start in the Spanish capital but it was Aubameyang who provided the key moment of quality on the half hour mark.
French star Ousmane Dembele was at the heart of the move for Barcelona as his driving run and cross was superbly finished off by Aubameyang at the front post.

The visitors were given a further boost before the break, however, as Uruguayan defensive lynchpin Ronald Araujo powered home Dembele’s corner.
