What a night at the Santiago Bernabéu! 😱 Barcelona absolutely crushed Real Madrid 4-0 in an electrifying El Clásico showdown. ⚽🔥
Robert Lewandowski was on fire, netting two goals that left Madrid's defense scrambling. 🚀 The first came in the 54th minute from a brilliant assist by the young talent Marc Casadó, and just three minutes later, Lewy soared to head in another, silencing the crowd. 🦅🎯
But the spotlight didn't stop there! Enter Lamine Yamal, the 17-year-old phenom who made history by becoming the youngest scorer in El Clásico at just 17 years and 105 days old. 🌟 He smashed a stunning shot over keeper Andriy Lunin in the 77th minute, making it 3-0. Talk about making a statement! 💥
As if Madrid fans hadn't seen enough, Raphinha added the cherry on top with a cheeky chip over Lunin in the 84th minute. 🍒👌 Barcelona was unstoppable, leaving Madrid completely unhinged. 😵
Fresh off a 4-1 victory over Bayern Munich in the Champions League, Barça is on a roll, outscoring their last five opponents 21-2! 🏆✨ \"We came here to do just this,\" Yamal said. \"We had lots of confidence and when we scored the second goal, we wanted to score a third, and then a fourth, as many goals as possible.\" 💪
On the flip side, Kylian Mbappé's first El Clásico in a white shirt was one to forget. 😕 The French superstar was caught offside eight times and couldn't get past Barça's backup keeper Iñaki Peña when it mattered. \"We knew that they played with a high line, and we just couldn't take advantage of it,\" coach Carlo Ancelotti admitted. 🤷♂️
This win not only snaps Madrid's 42-game unbeaten streak at home but also sends a clear message: Barcelona is back and they're ready to take on the world! 🌍🚀
