Barcelona were the victors in the El Classico on Saturday in Dallas. They defeated archrivals Real Madrid 3-0. The intensity levels of both teams were high, and in many instances, it did not feel like a friendly match. Xavi fielded his best starting lineup as Barca took control of the game in the first 20 minutes. Madrid had no chances in this phase, as the Catalans were avoiding counterattacks extremely well.

New signing Oriol Romeu had a very close chance, but his shot ultimately hit the crossbar. In the 15th minute, Pedri gave a pass to an unmarked Ousmane Dembele. The Frenchman had no problem placing it in the bottom corner. The score was then 1-0. Ronald Araujo gave away a penalty, giving Madrid a chance to equalize. However, Vinicius missed the shot, and Barca breathed a sigh of relief.

The Catalans finished the game in the last 10 minutes, as youngster Fermin Lopez scored in the 85th minute. He certainly caught the attention of management with his performance yesterday. He then provided an assist to Ferran Torres in added time as Barcelona defeated Real Madrid 3-0. It was an unlucky day for the Los Blancos as three of their attempts hit the crossbar.

It was a dangerous tackle that caused mayhem. Players from both sides started fighting. Many forgot that it was a pre-season game, as it felt like the players genuinely hated each other.
