Carlos Romero scored in the 85th minute for FC Barcelona's relegation-threatened city rivals, who had just 24% possession, thwarted 21 shots on goal and hit the post twice.

It was Real's first league defeat since the beginning of December. Atlético Madrid (2-0 against Mallorca) closed the gap in the table as a result, while FC Barcelona can move to within four points with a win against Alaves on Sunday.
