Real Madrid defeated Barcelona 3:1 (2:0) in the 10th round of La Liga and celebrated in the 250th El Clasico.
What kind of euphoria reigned at Camp Nou this summer, one quality player at a time was Xavi, while the rivals from Madrid were satisfied with Ridiger and Chuameni after the failed mission of “Mbappe”. What Florentino Perez knew that others did not, or how Carlo Ancelotti had so much confidence in the superiority of his chosen ones, no one will know, but that this is the case has come to light today.
The Catalans’ early pressure did not bring anything, while Real looked dangerous every time they moved into the rival’s half.
The game was played in the 12th minute when Toni Kroos made a counterattack, the phenomenal German found Vinicius with a perfect pass, who failed to checkmate Ter Stegen, but then the one who doesn’t make mistakes came across the ball. Benzema sent a precise shot from 12 meters and gave his team the lead.
Robert Lewandowski missed a phenomenal opportunity a few minutes later, and a penalty arrived in the 35th minute. Real players weaved a net around the “Blaugrana” penalty area, Chuameni found Mendy, he found Valverde with a return pass, who sent a shot from the edge of the penalty area into the Barcelona goal, for 2:0 at the “Santiago Bernabeu”.
Madrid had complete control in the second half as well, Benzema hit the net again in the 52nd minute, but the goal was disallowed for offside.
Xavi’s team seemed totally harmless and idealess on the field, so the Spaniard reacted with a triple substitution. Alba, Gavi and Ferran Torres entered the field, who reduced the score in the 74th minute.
Fati found Lewandowski with a phenomenal breakthrough, who only hooked the ball long enough for it to reach Torres, who responded coolly to make it 2:1
However, Rodrigo put an end to the match from the penalty spot in the 91st minute. Erik García was careless in the penalty area and fouled the Brazilian, who was then calm and realized the most severe penalty for the final 3:1.
Real Madrid is now in first position in La Liga with 25 points, while Barca is second with 22.
