Former Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has praised the many talents of Barcelona midfielder Ivan Rakitic.The 30-year-old scored the winner in El Clasico to move 12 points clear of Real Madrid, effectively ending their rivals’ hopes of staying in the LaLiga title race.
2Rakitic display against Real Madrid proof of the damage he could do elsewhere
Playing in a team that boasts Lionel Messi, Ousmane Dembele and Luis Suarez means Rakitic rarely gets praise and his winner could be his last major contribution for Barca against Real.There were few clear-cut chances for Real, who are now winless in their last six league games against their rivals where tempers almost boiled over at half-time when Messi looked to have been caught by a stray arm from Los Blancos captain Sergio Ramos.Barca, though, swept into the lead 26 minutes into the game when Sergi Roberto released Rakitic down the right.

We played well but it was not enough.”
