Barcelona got the better of Real Madrid for the fourth time this season -
securing the quadruple for the first time since 1982-83 - as they won El
Clasico 4-3 to take a huge step towards securing the La Liga title.
Barcelona are now seven points clear of Real Madrid having bounced back
in style from Tuesday’s gut-wrenching Champions League semi-final
defeat to Inter Milan at San Siro.
With only three La Liga matches remaining Real Madrid are on course for
:
a trophyless season after a disappointing campaign from Carlo Ancelotti’s
side, but they went 2-0 up within 15 minutes after a horror start by
Barcelona.
Keeper Wojciech Szczesny brought down Kylian Mbappe within the
opening five minutes and the striker put the visitors ahead from the spot,
doubling their lead ten minutes later. But from there Barca recovered
brilliantly, with goals from Eric Garcia and Lamine Yamal and a double by
Raphinha completing another stunning comeback inside the first half,
before Mbappe secured a hat-trick with the only goal after the restart.
:
Fermin Lopez looked to have secured a fifth for the hosts in stoppage time
before it was disallowed for handball, while Mbappe had a fourth
disallowed himself as Real fought back in the closing stages.

Lamine Yamal: 'A very important game'
Barca’s wunderkind speaks to Premier Sports.
“It was a very important game obviously,” he says. “We wanted to
bounce back in front of our own fans after what happened in the
Champions League.
“We had really clear opportunities to extend our lead.
“It’s a very special moment [to hear fans celebrating]. I can’t wait to
play at Camp Nou but it’s great to play here.
“We just wanted to win this game to get closer to the title.”

Barcelona 4-3 Real Madrid
It’s a fourth win in four El Clasicos for Barcelona, for the first time
since the 1982-83 season.
The Olympic Stadium is absolutely bouncing, Barca take in the
applause, and that’s the La Liga title pretty much sewn up. They’re
seven points clear of Real with three games to go.

FULL TIME! Barcelona 4-3 Real Madrid
97 mins: Barca are still searching for a fifth, pushing forward; Yamal
tees up a brilliant move, Courtois is way off his line but Raphinha
skies it over the bar, no hat-trick for the Brazilian.
But the final whistle goes and it’s Barca who take the spoils!

GOAL! Barcelona 5-3 Real Madrid
95 mins: Total, utter madness! The fans are already singing, they
know the end is in sight, and Barca make sure of it: Fermin wins the
ball back off Fermin, darts inside, and rifles it into the back of the net.
Courtois went the right way but had no change.
Barca go absolutely wild, sprinting to the supporters to celebrate.

DISALLOWED GOAL! Barcelona 4-3 Real Madrid
93 mins: Real break again and Mbappe races through, but Szczesny
tips it over for a Madrid corner. HUGE chance there to level.
Madness at the back post now as Mbappe turns Tchouameni’s header
from the delivery with a backheel - but he was offside.

CLOSE! Barcelona 4-3 Real Madrid
90 mins: Agonising for Munoz, who runs onto a good ball forward
but launches it over the bar! That would have been some moment for
him, with almost his first touch. Should be 4-4.
Vinicius Junior is having some treatment on the bench.
SIX minutes added on for Barca to either ride this out or Real to find a
winner.

86 mins: Raphinha whips in a cross but Courtois punches it away.
Diaz makes the final clearance but there were no Barcelona players in
space anyway.
Real counter, Vinicius Junior takes a low shot from the left side of the
box but it’s pretty tame to Szczesny.
