Lewandowski, Yamal shines as Barcelona beat Real Madrid 4-0 in El Clasico
In a thrilling El Clasico showdown, Barcelona delivered a statement 4-0 victory over Real Madrid, powered by two goals from star striker Robert Lewandowski and a historic strike by teenage sensation Lamine Yamal.
Lewandowski, in top form, netted twice in the second half to bring his season tally to 17 goals in just 14 appearances. Yamal’s late goal at the age of 17 years and 106 days made him the youngest player ever to score in El Clasico, marking a memorable milestone.
Real Madrid’s Kylian Mbappe had a potential opening goal disallowed for offside in the first half, as Barcelona’s defensive strategy effectively kept the capital team off balance. Despite a promising run by Vinicius Junior, the Madrid offense struggled, and Lewandowski soon took advantage, finding the net twice early in the second half. Raphinha added the finishing touch with a delicate lob in the 84th minute, sealing Barcelona’s dominance.
With this victory, Barcelona now stands six points clear at the top of the La Liga table, ending Real Madrid’s lengthy unbeaten streak since September 2023.
