Cesc helps set up Messi winner, gets Clasico welcome from Marcelo

Cesc Fabregas went six years without winning a trophy with Arsenal, but it only took him a day to win one with Barcelona. Granted, it was only the Supercopa, but he still did his part to get it. Coming on in the 82nd minute just after Karim Benzema equalized for Real Madrid to make it 2-2 (4-4 agg.), Cesc began a series of passes that led to Lionel Messi's winner just six minutes later.

And six minutes after that, Real defender Marcelo, who was already on a yellow, took him down with a vicious tackle that earned a sending off and sparked mass scuffle. Have a look...

Welcome to El Clasico, Cesc!

Of course, it's hard to pick out just a couple moments from what really was a fantastic match before it descended into the usual ugliness. But you have to see Gerard Pique's backheel to set up Messi's first goal just before halftime. Watch:


As Cesc, Puyol and Pique would say: "Moc moc."
