Watch: Lamine Yamal scores a golazo as Barcelona stage first-half comeback vs Real Madrid
Barcelona had the worst start possible to the season's final El Clasico, as the team conceded two early goals from Kylian Mbappe. The Frenchman netted twice in the first 15 minutes of the game, forcing Barcelona to chase a two-goal deficit from the very beginning. However, the Catalans showed a brilliant fighting spirit, pulling one back through Eric Garcia before Lamine Yamal made it 2-2 with a mesmerising strike. With the game poised at 1-2 and Real Madrid offering very little space inside the box, Yamal took it upon himself to equalise. During one of Barcelona's attacking moments, Pedri was trying to wriggle the ball through the Real Madrid defence before passing it to Ferran Torres. LAMINE YAMAL AND RAPHINHA BOTH SCORE WITHIN TWO MINUTES OF EACH OTHER TO COMPLETELY TURN ELCLÁSICO AROUND FOR BARCA! 3-2! 😱 — ESPN FC (@ESPNFC) May 11, 2025 The Spaniard then passed the ball to Yamal, who was waiting at the edge of the box. The young sensation then took no time in attempting a shot on goal with a curling effort that left Thibaut Courtois completely bamboozled. Shortly after Yamal's strike, Barcelona were able to score two more goals thanks to Raphinha, who capitalised on a quick turnover created in midfield to produce a calm finish past Courtois, almost immediately after Yamal's strike. The Brazilian international helped extend Barcelona's lead late into first half, thanks to some quick interplay between the Barça players. Barcelona are now leading the tie 4-2 as the two teams head towards the dressing room for half-time. It will be interesting to see whether or not Yamal can maintain a similar level of consistency going into the second half.

Barcelona defeats Real Madrid in high-scoring El Clasíco, overcomes Kylian Mbappé's hat trick
In a high-scoring edition of the iconic El Clasíco matchup, Barcelona took a 4-3 win over Real Madrid despite a hat trick from Madrid forward Kylian Mbappé. Barcelona has ruled the rivalry lately, defeating Real Madrid four times this season starting with a 4-0 La Liga victory in October. Subsequent victories in the Supercopa de España and Copa del Rey further proved Barcelona's dominance this year. Mbappé struck first with an early penalty kick in the fifth minute after an ill-timed tackle gave him a chance from the spot. He struck again in the 14th minute off an excellent assist from Vinícius Júnior. Barcelona answered when defender Eric Garcia struck first in the 19th minute, followed by three Barça goals in less than 15 minutes: one from 17-year-old phenom Lamine Yamal in the 32nd minute, and then two from Raphinha after 34 and 45 minutes. LAMINE YAMAL AND RAPHINHA BOTH SCORE WITHIN TWO MINUTES OF EACH OTHER TO COMPLETELY TURN ELCLÁSICO AROUND FOR BARCA! 3-2! 😱 — ESPN FC (@ESPNFC) May 11, 2025 Mbappé came back with another in the 70th minute to bring the score to 4-3, completing his hat trick. But Real Madrid couldn't break through Barcelona's defense, as goalkeeper Wojciech Szczęsny made multiple key saves to hold the lead. Barcelona midfielder Fermín Lopez nearly made it 5-3 in stoppage time, but his goal was called back due to a handball in the run-up. Barcelona instead settled for a one-goal victory, and El Clasíco bragging rights for another year. Barcelona is currently at the top of the La Liga standings with 82 points, while Real Madrid sits in second with 75. With three matches remaining in the regular season, Barcelona needs only one win to secure the La Liga title.
