On Sunday night, former NFL star Tom Brady was in Santiago Bernabeu Stadium in Madrid to watch the Spanish El Clasico between Real Madrid and Barcelona. The game did not disappoint.

It was a top-of-the-table clash between the two European giants of soccer. Real were 8 points clear at the start of the game. They made it 10 with only 6 games left to play through a late stoppage-time winner from Englishman Jude Bellingham. 

It finished 3-2 in favor of the capital side. Tom Brady enjoyed when winger Vinicius Junior buried from 12 yards to equalize in the first half. Then right-back Lucas Vasquez gave Madrid its first lead of the night, which was canceled out by a goal from Barcelona’s Fermin Lopez.
