The team of coach Hansi Flick is experiencing the next roller coaster ride – and once again prevails against the “royal” this season. The game begins directly with a double strike for the guests. Then all the dams break.
FC Barcelona is currently unable to do without a big drama: The Catalans won the “Clásico” in La Liga against Real Madrid, which was eagerly awaited on Sunday in a spectacular game after 0: 2 deficit with 4: 3 (4: 2) and thus take another step towards the championship in Spain.
Eric García (19th), Lamine Yamal (32nd), and Raphinha (34th, 45th) turned the game for the again furiously playing team of coach Hansi Flick, after Real had taken the lead through a double strike by Kylian Mbappé (5th/foulelfmeter, 14th). With his third goal (70th), the Frenchman brought the guests back in a rousing game, the game became a real thriller. Both teams had even top -class scores until added time.
After the dramatic departure from the Champions League in the semi-final second leg at Inter Milan (3: 4 NV), Barça now experienced the next spectacle-but with a positive outcome. Three game days before the end, Barcelona (82 points) is now seven points in front of Real in first place.
The era of coach Carlo Ancelotti at Real is likely to end this season without title. The farewell of the Italian is considered a decided thing, according to Marca, the commitment of the outgoing Leverkusen coach Xabi Alonso is already perfect as the successor.
While Barça was primarily concerned with a reaction to the end of the premier class in advance, Real once again buttoned up the referee. In almost the usual manner, the royal with the help of the club’s own TV broadcaster covered the scheduled impartial Alejandro Hernández Hernández with allegations. And the 42-year-old was immediately the focus.
After less than three minutes, Barca goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny, the national goalkeeper Marc-André Ter Stegen again pushed to the bench, clearly too late in the penalty area against Mbappé. Hernández Hernández rightly decided on a penalty. Mbappé converted confidently – and only a little later after a clean counterattack.
But Barca, who had overslept the initial phase, was completely unimpressed by this. After García’s goal, Flick’s team dominated almost at will, but real was completely off the role. Yamal managed to equalize with a fantastic flock, Raphinha got the rest – and the fans on the Montjuic cheered every pass before the break whistle.
With the comfortable guidance in the back, Barca initially took the pace out in the second half. Only after Mbappé’s connection goal did the hosts show up again on the offensive. Raphinha (74th) did not score the almost empty gate from a few meters. The supposed 4: 4 of Mbappé (90.+2) did not count due to an offside position.
