In a thrilling 261st El Clásico, Barcelona mounted a comeback to defeat Real Madrid 4-3, widening their LaLiga lead to move one step closer to the title.

Real Madrid took an early lead with Kylian Mbappé’s penalty and second goal, but Barcelona responded with Eric García’s header from Dani Olmo’s corner and Lamine Yamal’s stunning curled shot.

Raphinha’s brace, capitalizing on errors by Lucas Vázquez, turned the game on its head.

Despite Mbappé’s hat-trick, assisted by Vinícius Júnior, and several offside calls, Barcelona held firm to earn a crucial victory.

The win extends Barcelona’s LaLiga lead to seven points, leaving them one victory from the title and ending Real Madrid’s four-game league winning streak.
