0:2, 3:2, 3:3 – Real Madrid failed to put pressure on FC Barcelona despite a great comeback at Rayo Vallecano. He can extend his championship lead on Sunday.
Goals from Unai Lopez (4th) and Abdul Mumin (36th) gave the guests a seemingly comfortable lead, but then Real showed off their exceptional class. Federico Valverde shortened the gap with a brilliant long-range shot (39′), then Jude Bellingham continued his series, scoring in the seventh competitive game in a row for the “Royal” (45′).
Rodrygo actually made the turnaround perfect with a deflected shot (56th), but then Isaac Palazon Camacho punished the big gaps in Real’s defense and equalized in the 64th minute. In the final phase, Madrid pushed for the winning goal, but missed several chances and thus missed out on the move to the top of the table.
Barca can build up a cushion without Flick
FC Barcelona remains there, who will face CD Leganes on Sunday and can move away to four points with a win. However, Barca will have to do without coach Hansi Flick, who was suspended for two games after his red card in the last league game at Betis Sevilla (2-2).
