It is lonely at the top for FC Barcelona after an emphatic 4-0 win over Real Madrid helped extend their lead at the top of the League. With 30 points from a possible 33, the club are now six points above Real Madrid. Hansi Flick‘s arrival has managed to completely galvanize the team, helping them score an unbelievable 37 goals in 11 games.
Lamine Yamal‘s goal in the 77th minute meant that he claimed yet another record as the youngest scorer in El Clasico history. The title was earlier held by Alfonso Navarro, who was 17 years and 356 days old. Following the win, Yamal was in high spirits, as he made bold claims to the press.
We believe we’re the best team in the world. We’ve proven that we can beat anyone. Let’s go and win La Liga. We go for it now.

FC Barcelona DEMOLISH Real Madrid 4-0 in El Clasico
Barcelona and Hansi Flick put on a show at the Santiago Bernabeu on Saturday night. Following a difficult and messy start to the game, it didn’t take long for either side to find their element. Contrary to what was expected from the game, the final score read 4-0 in Barcelona’s favor, as goals from Robert Lewandowski, Lamine Yamal, and Raphinha wounded Madrid.
The game burst to life in the initial minutes, when Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Jr. took multiple shots and even scored past Inaki Pena. However, the ingenuity of Flick’s offside trap meant that no Real Madrid player was to score against the Blaugrana. After a goalless first half, Lewandowski opened the scoring in the 54th minute. Played through on goal by Marc Casado, Lewandowski comfortably placed the ball into the bottom right corner.

Two minutes later, the No.9 doubled his side’s lead from an impressive header. Already sitting on a 2-0 lead, Barcelona started to thrive. Star man Yamal’s unexpected right-footed finish caught Andriy Lunin off-guard, making it 3-0. After a hat-trick against Bayern Munich, Raphinha also found the net as he dinked the ball over Lunin to kill off the game.
