Barcelona Ends Real Madrid's Unbeaten Run

Barcelona ended Real Madrid's 42-game unbeaten LaLiga run with a dominant 4-0 victory in El Clásico, highlighting Madrid's struggle with Barcelona's high defensive line and missing key players like Rodrygo. In contrast, Real Madrid showcased a strong comeback in the Champions League against Borussia Dortmund, overturning a 2-0 halftime deficit to win 5-2, largely thanks to Vinicius Junior's hat-trick. Despite earlier struggles in the Champions League phase, including a loss to Lille, Real Madrid's recent victory boosts their campaign. Meanwhile, Barcelona's odds to win the Champions League have improved following impressive performances, including a 4-1 victory over Bayern Munich, positioning them as fourth-favorites for the title.
