When Real Madrid and Barcelona face off, it’s bound to deliver high-stakes drama and flair. While some clashes have been decided by a single goal, this time, it was a spectacular scoreline that stole the show.
In their first Clasico of the 2024/25 season, Barcelona stunned the Santiago Bernabeu with a resounding 4-0 victory, marking one of the most jaw-dropping results of the European football season so far.
Sitting atop the La Liga standings and fresh off a commanding 4-1 win over Bayern Munich in the Champions League, Barcelona arrived in peak form. They extended their lead at the top of the table to six points, signaling their dominance early in the campaign.
Robert Lewandowski’s rapid-fire brace, scored just minutes apart early in the second half, set the tone with a decisive 2-0 lead. Later goals from Lamine Yamal and Raphinha sealed the victory, leaving Real Madrid reeling and raising alarms for Carlo Ancelotti’s side just two months into the season.
Lamine Yamal’s goal was particularly historic, as it shattered a 78-year-old record, making him the youngest goalscorer in El Clasico history.
