The match could be remembered as one of the most electrifying El Clásicos. FC Barcelona showcased resilience and attacking brilliance to secure a dramatic 4-3 victory over Real Madrid on May 11, 2025. The win takes Barcelona seven points ahead as the top team in the La Liga with just three matches left.
Real Madrid stormed into the lead in just 16 minutes with Kylian Mbappé scoring twice to put the visitors up 2-0. But Barcelona responded with a stunning display of counter attacking football. Eric García started the comeback, followed by a clinical finish from teenage sensation Lamine Yamal. Brazilian winger Raphinha then stole the show by netting twice to flip the score to 4-2 before halftime. Mbappé completed his hat trick in the second half as he reduced the deficit to 4-3 by keeping Madrid’s hopes alive. However, Barcelona held on despite a few nervy moments in the dying minutes including a near equalizer from Real Madrid debutant Victor Muñoz.
Controversy surrounded a disallowed Barcelona goal by Fermín López which was ruled out for handball. VAR audio later revealed a comment from the officials’ room saying “thank goodness,” sparking debate over neutrality. Barcelona manager Hansi Flick praised his team’s spirit but admitted concern over the defense especially after also conceding three goals to Inter Milan in both legs of their Champions League semi-final. This was Barcelona’s fourth win over Real Madrid this season having already beaten them in the Supercopa and Copa del Rey. Their next opportunity is scheduled for May 15 against local rivals Espanyol.
With a domestic double now in sight, Hansi Flick’s first season in charge is shaping up to be a remarkable success.
