Barcelona Humiliate Real Madrid At The Santiago Bernabéu

Barcelona’s 4-0 win over Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu over the weekend was a dominant performance that exposed Real Madrid’s defensive vulnerabilities and inefficiencies in attack.

After a goalless first half, Barcelona capitalized on their momentum, with Robert Lewandowski scoring twice in quick succession at the 54th and 56th minutes. These goals were a result of disciplined, incisive play that left Real Madrid’s defense scrambling.

Adding to Real Madrid’s woes, Lamine Yamal scored a third goal in the 77th minute, and Raphinha capped off the night with a final goal in the 84th minute.

Madrid’s offensive efforts, notably through Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Jr fell short, with Mbappe in particular struggling, including being caught offside numerous times, which stifled his impact.

Real Madrid’s manager, Carlo Ancelotti, defended his team’s performance by emphasizing their resilience and downplaying the scoreline, arguing that Barcelona’s win did not reflect the game’s overall competitiveness. However, Ancelotti also acknowledged the need for introspection and improvement to bridge the evident gap with Barcelona.

Barcelona’s impressive victory was also symbolic, marking their first away win over Real Madrid since 2022. It highlighted a team on the rise, capable of delivering a balanced performance across both attack and defense. Barcelona lies on top of the table with 30 points after 11 games .

Real Madrid, the loss means falling behind their rivals in the La Liga standings woith 24 points on the second position after 11 games , prompting Ancelotti and his squad to make adjustments as the season progresses.
