Barcelona Defeats Real Madrid 4-0 in Clásico

Barcelona delivered a stunning performance in El Clásico, defeating Real Madrid 4-0 at the Santiago Bernabéu, marking Madrid's first La Liga loss since September 2022. Robert Lewandowski was the star of the match, scoring two quick goals early in the second half, while Lamine Yamal and Raphinha added to the scoreline later. Despite high expectations for Kylian Mbappé's first Clásico, he had a frustrating game, with two of his goals disallowed for offside and failing to capitalize on scoring opportunities. Barcelona's victory solidified their lead at the top of La Liga with 30 points, six ahead of Real Madrid. Coach Hansi Flick's tactical adjustments were pivotal, particularly the introduction of Frenkie de Jong, which helped Barcelona regain control in the second half. This match not only showcased Barcelona's offensive prowess but also highlighted Real's challenges, particularly their lack of depth in key positions.
