In a match that had fans buzzing with excitement, Barcelona ignited a stunning comeback to beat Real Madrid 4-3 at Estadi Olímpic Lluis Companys. Despite falling behind early with Kylian Mbappe netting in the 5th and 14th minutes, the Catalan side turned the game around with relentless energy. ⚽️
Raphinha was the standout star, scoring twice to spark the revival, while Lamine Yamal and Eric Garcia each chipped in a crucial goal. By halftime, Barcelona had surged to a 4-2 lead, setting the stage for a victory that now puts them seven points clear of their rivals with only three games to go!
Mbappe continued to dazzle by completing his hat trick in the 70th minute, a performance that not only crowned him the league's top scorer with 27 goals but also made him Real Madrid's highest scorer in his debut season, outdoing legends like Cristiano Ronaldo. 🔥
Though Barcelona recently faced a setback in the UEFA Champions League against Inter Milan, their dominance in clashes against Real Madrid this season remains unchallenged, with emphatic wins at the Santiago Bernabeu and triumphs in major cup finals.
Barcelona coach Hansi Flick celebrated the hard-fought victory, praising the team spirit and the electric atmosphere from the fans. With a title-deciding match on the horizon at Espanyol—and the possibility of clinching the championship if Madrid stumbles against Mallorca—the team is well on track to capture their 28th league title. 🙌
