The day Mourinho's Real Madrid defeated the best Barca in history at Camp Nou

On April 21, 2012, Real Madrid recorded a famous victory at Camp Nou which put Los Blancos on course to win the LaLiga Santander title.

The 2-1 win over Pep Guardiola's Barcelona was met with wild celebrations in Madrid that went on until the early hours of the next day.

That victory opened up a seven-point advantage for Jose Mourinho's men, with four games left.

Cristiano Ronaldo's gesture

Sami Khedira opened the scoring in the first half before Alexis Sanchez equalised on 70 minutes.

But, just two minutes after the Chilean's goal, Cristiano Ronaldo netted the winner, and celebrated with the now infamous "calma" gesture.

Pep Guardiola's mea culpa

After the game, Guardiola took responsibility for the defeat.

"I have to make decisions, that's what they pay me for and I have to take them," he said in the post-match press conference.

"We have had chances and we played the right type of game.

"Maybe I was wrong. I thought a few days ago that I wanted to play like this, but after losing I was not so right," he said.

Two records to end Barcelona's dominance

Barcelona had won the previous three LaLiga Santander titles but, that season, after winning at the Camp Nou, Real Madrid ended up lifting the title, and in convincing fashion.

Los Blancos achieved their biggest ever points total (100) and highest ever goal tally (121).
