Real Madrid,clad in white as usual (like Star Wars stormtroopers ) were not able to overcome Barcelona in blue despite a Mbappe hat trick and despite being 2 goals up in 14 minutes.. Being two goals down by the 14th minute would have been a mountain to climb most times but Barca ,who have become the master of comeback wins under Flick,were soon sitting pretty with the scoreline reading 4-2.All this before half time.
Thibaut was unable to prevent the following goals- Garcia (19′), a super Yamal goal (32′) and then a brace from Raphinha (34′) and (45′). Mbappe pulled one back in the second half to complete his hat trick. VAR controversial handball decisions added to the tension. Barcelona were denied a penalty from what looked to be a pretty clear handball and then denied a goal for what looked like an accidental handball.(The dark side of the force did its best to help its stormtroopers but eventually ran out of time.)
Barcelona now only need three points from the remaining three matches to be crowned La Liga champions and It’s the first time that Barcelona have won four Clasicos in a single season
La Liga (Bernabéu): Barcelona 4–0 Real Madrid
Copa del Rey Final: Barcelona 3–2 Real Madrid
Supercopa de España Final: Barcelona 5–2 Real Madrid
La Liga (Montjuïc): Barcelona 4–3 Real Madrid
The last time that happened was in 1982-83, when they had a certain Diego Maradona on their team.
