Defeating Barca in El Clasico, Real Madrid touches the La Liga championship

The El Clasico match went as expected with drama and climax. Surprisingly, the opening goal of the match came from the visiting team Barca thanks to Christensen.

Real fought back in search of an equaliser and the pressure the home side put on eventually forced Barca to make a mistake. Vinicius equalised 1-1 from the penalty spot in the 18th minute.

In the second half, Barcelona once again took advantage of the opportunity to take the lead after Fermin Lopez's rebound shot in the 69th minute. And just like the first half, Real Madrid quickly equalized just 4 minutes later thanks to Lucas Vazquez.

In the 90+1 minute, Real completed a spectacular comeback after Jude Bellingham penetrated the penalty area and shot into Barca's net, sealing a 3-2 victory.

Winning against their arch-rivals, the Bernabeu team is closer to the La Liga championship. They have 81 points, 11 points more than Barca while there are only 6 rounds left in the tournament.

The 2023-2024 season is still on track for Real Madrid. They have booked their place in the Champions League semi-finals after defeating Man City and will now focus on La Liga. With an 11-point gap over Barcelona, ​​Real have their hands on the title.

Meanwhile, Barcelona were eliminated from the Champions League after a 1-4 defeat in the second leg of the quarter-finals against PSG. This defeat to Real has almost closed the chance for Xavi to win a title in what is supposed to be his final season with the Blaugrana.

If they leave Bernabeu empty-handed, Barca will be 11 points behind Real with only 6 rounds left in the tournament. On the contrary, Xavi's team will still have hope if the gap is 5 points.
