Barcelona pulled off a dramatic comeback on Sunday night at the Montjuic Olympic Stadium, overcoming a two-goal deficit to defeat archrivals Real Madrid 4-3 in a high-octane El Clasico clash that edges them closer to clinching the LaLiga title.
Real Madrid stormed into the match with early dominance, thanks to a brace from Kylian Mbappe that silenced the home crowd and handed Los Blancos a commanding lead. But Barcelona, determined not to crumble under pressure, roared back in sensational fashion.
Eric Garcia, Lamine Yamal, and Raphinha each found the back of the net in a 15-minute blitz, stunning the visitors and flipping the game on its head. Raphinha then capitalized on a defensive blunder by Lucas Vazquez just before halftime to make it 4-2, giving the Catalans a crucial cushion.
Mbappe completed his hat-trick in the 70th minute, sparking hopes of a Real Madrid revival, but Barcelona held firm to seal a vital three points.
With three games left in the season, the win propels Barcelona seven points clear at the top of the table. One more victory would secure their 28th LaLiga title, while Real Madrid are now staring at a trophyless campaign.
The result not only boosts Barcelona’s title ambitions but also underscores the resilience and firepower within Xavi’s squad—especially with Raphinha rising as a key figure in the most crucial stage of the season.
