FC Barcelona triumphed over Real Madrid with a score of 4 to 3 this Sunday at Montjuic in a thrilling match, putting La Liga within reach.
The three goals from French star Kylian Mbappé were nullified by the whirlwind of play from the Blaugrana, who had to come back from an early two-goal deficit.
A penalty committed by Szczesny in the 5th minute and a lapse in the Barcelona defense in the 14th made the match quite challenging for the Blaugrana, who, as often throughout the season, had to come from behind.
The reaction was swift, starting with a flurry of play and chances: Eric García scored following a corner headed by Ferrán (19), Lamine Yamal had a precise shot that hit the base of the post (32), and Brazilian winger Raphinha (34 and 45) completed the comeback in a first half that featured 6 goals.
In the second half, the azulgranas had opportunities to extend their lead, but it was Mbappé who added suspense to a match that had it all: disallowed goals, controversy, and the usual clashes that ignite sparks in all the classics.
With this result, FC Barcelona, having endured a harsh European elimination earlier in the week, is close to securing the domestic double after defeating Madrid in all four clásicos this year: the Supercopa, the Copa del Rey final, and the two league matches.
On Thursday, in the Catalan derby against Espanyol, the culés could start celebrating the championship if they score points.
