Reuters / Sergio Perez
Lionel Messi's first goal after a lengthy El Clasico scoring drought was worth the wait.
Minutes after Casemiro gave Real Madrid a 1-0 lead, the Barcelona star swerved past three defenders before sliding his shot beyond Keylor Navas to bring the match level at the Bernabeu, ending a run of six matches against Madrid without a tally.
