In a thrilling El Clasico, Robert Lewandowski propelled La Liga leaders Barcelona to a commanding victory over Real Madrid, scoring twice in just three minutes and extending Barcelona’s lead to six points over their rivals.
Real Madrid aimed to stretch their unbeaten streak to 43 league matches, a feat that would match the record set by Barcelona from April 2017 to May 2018. However, their ambitions were dashed in a dominant second-half performance from Barcelona.
After a scoreless first half, Lewandowski opened the scoring in the 54th minute, converting a precise through ball from Marc Casado. Moments later, he doubled the lead with a powerful header from Alejandro Balde’s cross, leaving the Madrid defense stunned.
Despite coming close to a hat-trick—hitting the post with one attempt and shooting over the bar with another—Lewandowski’s contributions were pivotal. Barcelona’s young sensation, Lamine Yamal, then made history by becoming the youngest-ever scorer in El Clasico, blasting a shot into the top corner for Barcelona’s third goal.
Raphinha capped off the scoring late in the match with a clever lob, marking his first goal against Real Madrid.
For Kylian Mbappe, this historic clash ended in disappointment, as the French striker had two goals disallowed for offside and was thwarted by Barcelona’s goalkeeper, Inaki Pena.
