Barcelona took a monumental step toward reclaiming the La Liga title with a breathtaking 4-3 comeback victory over Real Madrid in a pulsating Clasico at the Lluis Companys Olympic Stadium. This win, which saw Barcelona overcome a hat-trick from Kylian Mbappe, moved them seven points clear at the top with just three matches remaining.
Real Madrid had a dream start, with Mbappe striking twice in the opening 14 minutes. He first converted a penalty after being brought down by Wojciech Szczesny, and then finished clinically from a Vinicius Junior through ball, stunning the home crowd.
However, Barcelona mounted a blistering first-half comeback. Eric Garcia began the fightback with a towering header from a corner in the 19th minute. Lamine Yamal then brought the crowd to its feet with a sublime curling effort to level the score.
The momentum shifted entirely just minutes later when Raphinha capitalized on a defensive mix-up between Mbappe and Lucas Vazquez to put Barcelona ahead. The Brazilian added his second before the break, finishing Ferran Torres’ cut-back after pressing high to win possession. This remarkable turnaround saw Barcelona score four goals in just 26 minutes.
This thrilling victory not only showcased Barcelona’s resilience and attacking prowess but also brought them significantly closer to securing the La Liga title.
