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.
