El Clásico is always a match that generates many comments. Real Madrid and FC Barcelona faced off to keep LaLiga on track. After the blow in the Champions League, Hansi Flick's team needed the victory and they achieved it after an epic comeback.
As for the match, what we are used to seeing in Barça this season: little effectiveness in defense that left an early 0-2 against them. After that, and also very quickly, Eric García laid the first stone for the comeback and Lamine Yamal made it 2-2.
Two minutes later, Raphinha, who is still on a roll, scored the reassuring 3-2 and could have scored again ten minutes later for a resounding 4-2. Ferran Torres didn't score, but he made a "hat-trick" of assists. The forward, in his best streak with Hansi Flick on the bench.
To the two initial goals by Kylian Mbappé was added the final and definitive 4-3 by the Frenchman, who took the ball home. An event that Barça with Pedri, Lamine Yamal, Ferran Torres, and Raphinha completely overshadowed.
Barça gets closer to LaLiga
Winning El Clásico has been a boost for FC Barcelona and for their fans, who deserved it a lot. They left Montjuïc with a lot of spirit because LaLiga is decided. Beating Real Madrid always brings a lot of adrenaline, especially when it was a match full of controversy and obstacles for Barça.
Despite the victory, FC Barcelona was harmed by the referee on numerous occasions: no surprise as it was Hernández Hernández. From the beginning, Real Madrid's first goal came after an offside. Moreover, in Kylian Mbappé's second, the referee didn't see a foul on Lamine Yamal.
Real Madrid's "18", Tchouaméni, was the protagonist along with Hernández Hernández in the second half. Just before the break, the referee forgave the red card to the Frenchman. After that, the Spaniard didn't want to see the Frenchman's handball inside the area.
Additionally, in a very strange situation, he annulled Fermín López's goal, which would have meant 5-3. As if he wasn't allowed to let FC Barcelona score five goals against Real Madrid. The midfielder from Huelva didn't give it much importance.
Jota Jordi speaks out after El Clásico
