The most anticipated match of recent years, El Clásico, in the 10th round of the Spanish La Liga, took place in Madrid in a very intense and emotional atmosphere. Real Madrid defeated Barcelona 2-1 in front of their fans at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium.
The match started at a high tempo from the very first minutes. The Royal Club opened the scoring in the 22nd minute with a goal from Kylian Mbappé. However, Barça didn't go unanswered either - in the 38th minute, Fermin Lopez equalized with a precise shot. The first half was very intense, both teams were active in both defense and attack.
In the second half, Real Madrid took control. In the 43rd minute, Jude Bellingham's powerful shot scored against Barça, putting Real Madrid back in the lead. After that, the atmosphere at the Bernabéu completely changed - the joy of the 80,000 fans in the stands shook the stadium.
However, the match was memorable not only on the field but also for the arguments in the final minutes. Following the match, Real Madrid defender Dani Carvajal and forward Vinicius Junior clashed with Barcelona's young star, Lamin Yamal.
Before the tournament, it became known that Yamal's statement in the press about "Real Madrid" irritated the Madrid side. Therefore, after the game, Vinicius addressed him:
- "Yamal, you talked a lot, now what do you say?" - the words of the Brazilian star quickly spread on the internet.
At the same time, a small quarrel arose between the two teams at the end of the El Clásico. Real Madrid manager Xabi Alonso personally intervened to calm down Vinicius Junior.
As a result of the match, Real Madrid secured the top spot in the league table with 27 points. Barcelona is five points behind their opponent. This victory was crucial for the Madrid side not only in terms of points but also in terms of psychological superiority.
