Barcelona leaves Real Madrid in the dust with 4-0 rout at Bernabeu

Barcelona put on a dominant display at the Santiago Bernabeu, defeating Real Madrid 4-0 in the latest El Clasico, part of La Liga’s 11th round. The early stages saw Real Madrid’s Eduardo Camavinga create an opportunity by setting up Kylian Mbappe, who found Jude Bellingham in a promising position. However, Barcelona’s keeper Iñaki Peña made a great save, and the goal wouldn’t have counted due to an offside call.

In the 31st minute, Real Madrid’s Ferland Mendy sent a diagonal pass to Lucas Vazquez, who assisted Mbappe for what looked like a breakthrough. But VAR disallowed the goal again due to offside.

Barcelona broke the deadlock in the 54th minute, with Marc Casadó finding Robert Lewandowski, who escaped Real Madrid’s defense and finished with precision to make it 1-0. Just two minutes later, a perfect cross from Alejandro Balde found Lewandowski again, who headed in for a quick 2-0 lead.

Real Madrid continued to push, and Mbappe found the net again in the 66th minute, but once more, he was ruled offside. Barcelona continued to control the game, with Rafinha setting up Lewandowski, who struck the post before missing another chance shortly afterward.

The longest unbeaten runs in LaLiga history:

◉ 43 games – Barcelona (2017-2018)
