In a match that will be remembered for years to come, Barcelona emerged victorious over their arch-rivals Real Madrid, winning 4-3 in a thrilling El Clasico encounter at the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys in Montjuic. The hosts came into the match as favorites, but it was Real Madrid that made the better start, capitalizing on errors from Pau Cubarsi and Wojciech Szczesny to take a 2-0 lead.
Kylian Mbappe was the catalyst for Real Madrid’s early success, scoring two goals, including a penalty kick after Szczesny fouled him inside the penalty area. However, Barcelona responded brilliantly, with Ferran Torres setting up Eric Garcia to score the first goal, and Lamine Yamal curling home an equalizer to make it 2-2.
The hosts took the lead just before halftime, courtesy of Raphinha’s brace, and despite Mbappe’s hat-trick, Barcelona held on for a 4-3 victory.
