Barcelona delivered a decisive 4-0 victory over Real Madrid in El Clasico, driven by Robert Lewandowski’s quickfire second-half goals that set the tone for a commanding performance. Lewandowski struck twice within three minutes, capitalizing on Madrid’s defensive gaps as they sought a way back into the game. Lamine Yamal and Raphinha then seized further opportunities, exposing Los Blancos as they continued pushing forward.
Real Madrid entered the match with a formidable 42-game unbeaten La Liga streak, just one shy of Barcelona’s record. However, despite moments of early promise, Madrid failed to find the back of the net. Kylian Mbappe saw a goal ruled out due to offside and frustratingly found himself flagged six times before halftime.
Lewandowski’s experience and precise timing allowed him to break Madrid’s defenses, following up his initial goal with a well-placed header. Despite missing two golden chances to seal the tie, Barcelona ultimately put the game beyond reach through clinical finishes by Yamal and Raphinha. Barcelona now sits six points clear at the La Liga summit, with head coach Hansi Flick’s high defensive line frustrating Madrid’s attack throughout.
