Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale, Karim Benzema, Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar all fail to score on same night for first time
Real Madrid's BBC and Barcelona's MSN were both in action but none of six managed to net as both sides only drew 1-1
LAST night marked a watershed moment in recent Spanish football history.
It was the first time Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale, Karim Benzema, Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar all started on the same night — and none of the six managed to get on the scoresheet.
The greatest attack line-ups were in world football were both on show as Real Madrid took on Villarreal and Barcelona hosted Atletico Madrid.
However, both matches finished in 1-1 draws — with none finding the back of the net.
It was the 29th matchday all six had been in action at the same time since Suarez’s arrival in La Liga in 2014.
Sergio Ramos gave away a penalty before heading in the equaliser as Zinedine Zidane’s men failed break the record for consecutive victories in La Liga.
And later that same evening, Barca were pegged back at the Nou Camp.
Ivan Rakitic headed the home side into the lead in the first half before it all started to go wrong.
First Sergio Busquets and Messi were taken off injured — and then Angel Correa levelled the scores.
Barcelona’s attacking trio actually made history at the weekend when all three netted before half time en route to a 5-1 victory against new boys Leganes.
While for Real Madrid, it was the first time the BBC started together in the league.
Alvaro Morata’s arrival has allowed Zidane to rotate the trio.
