Barcelona have taken a dominant hold of La Liga’s title race with a wild 4-3 win over Real Madrid in today’s El Clasico.
The result means Barcelona lead Madrid by seven points with just three matches remaining.
Kylian Mbappe gave the visitors a dream start with two goals in the opening 14 minutes, but Barcelona then scored four times – Eric Garcia, Lamine Yamal and two from Raphinha – before half-time to flip the games on its head.
Mbappe sealed his hat-trick in the second half to pull Madrid back within a goal. Both sides had several chances in the closing minutes, along with multiple goals disallowed, but Barcelona held on for the win.
