Real Madrid endured a 4-0 defeat to Barcelona in front of a home crowd during the season’s first El Clasico on Saturday night.
Los Blancos aimed to narrow the gap at the top of the league standings but missed key opportunities in the first half, with Vinicius Junior and Kylian Mbappe unable to capitalize.
The momentum shifted after Robert Lewandowski’s two quick goals early in the second half. Further goals from Lamine Yamal and Raphinha sealed Barcelona’s dominance and strengthened their lead in the title race.
With this win, Hansi Flick’s squad now enjoys a six-point lead over Madrid, with ten games into the season.
