In the early hours of October 27, the 11th round of La Liga featured the El Clásico, and the result was somewhat surprising. Barcelona’s devastating attack overwhelmed Real Madrid in the first half, leaving the home crowd at the Bernabéu speechless with a 4-0 victory. After this match, Real Madrid not only fell 6 points behind the league leaders but also saw two records broken.
Before the game, there was a 3-point gap between Real Madrid and Barcelona, making this an early decisive battle for the La Liga title. If the Galaxy Fleet could defend their home ground, they would level the score; if Barcelona conquered the Bernabéu, the gap would widen to 6 points. It’s worth noting that both teams had secured impressive victories in the Champions League during the midweek, adding to the excitement of this matchup.
In the first half, Real Madrid frequently attacked behind Barcelona’s defense, but their players repeatedly fell into the offside traps set by Barcelona. Kylian Mbappé finally scored in the 30th minute, but the goal was ruled offside.
In the second half, Barcelona took control of the pace, leaving Real Madrid struggling to keep up. Robert Lewandowski scored twice within two minutes, setting the tone for the match. Subsequently, Real Madrid pushed forward, exposing their defensive weaknesses, and Yarmal and Raphinha capitalized on individual efforts to score, sealing the 4-0 victory!
Barcelona ended their four-game losing streak in El Clásico and achieved their fifth 4-goal or more victory at the Bernabéu, a well-deserved win. As Barcelona continues to surge ahead, two of Real Madrid’s records have come to an end:
Firstly, Real Madrid’s unbeaten run across 42 consecutive matches was broken. They were just one game away from tying Barcelona’s record for the longest unbeaten streak in La Liga, set between 2017 and 2018. The last time Real Madrid lost in La Liga was in the 6th round of the 23/24 season, when they were defeated 1-3 away to Atlético Madrid.
Secondly, Real Madrid’s 32-match unbeaten streak in all competitions at the Bernabéu has also come to an end. Their last defeat at home dates back to the 21/22 season, when they lost 2-3 to Villarreal in a shocking upset.
Moreover, Carlo Ancelotti suffered his 10th defeat against Barcelona in his managerial career, having experienced two 0-4 losses in El Clásico in the past two years. More importantly, after this match, Real Madrid is now 6 points behind the top of the table, making their chances of defending the title increasingly slim.
