Real Madrid triumphed over Barcelona 3-2 in an exciting El Clasico match at the Bernabeu, moving 11 points ahead at the top of La Liga. Jude Bellingham scored a dramatic last-minute winner, helping Real Madrid come back twice in the game.
Barcelona started strong with a header by Andres Christensen, but Vinicius Jr’s penalty tied the match before halftime. Fermin Lopez then put Barcelona ahead 2-1 in the second half, only for Lucas Vazquez to level the score for Real Madrid shortly after.
The win solidifies Real Madrid’s path to reclaiming the La Liga title, with just six games left in the season. Bellingham’s heroics in the final moments marked his second El Clasico goal, making him the first Real player to score in their first two La Liga El Clasicos since Ruud van Nistelrooy in 2007.
Despite Barcelona‘s strong performance, their coach Xavi expressed frustration over a controversial VAR decision involving Lamine Yamal’s potential goal, which was not confirmed due to the lack of goalline technology in La Liga. Xavi criticized the absence of this technology, citing its use in other major leagues such as the Premier League.
