Raphinha scored a brace as Barcelona completed a thrilling 4-3 comeback win in the final Clásico of the season to move closer to the title.
Barcelona and Real Madrid served up one of the most thrilling Clasicos in recent years and the Blaugrana came out on top to move one step closer to the LaLiga title.
Real Madrid showed intent from the first whistle and got an early penalty when Kylian Mbappe pounced on Pau Cubarsi’s mistake and was taken out by Wojciech Szczęsny.
The Frenchman slotted past the Barca keeper, putting Los Blancos ahead just five minutes into proceedings.
Mbappé added another before the quarter-hour mark, latching onto Vinícius Júnior’s through-ball before coolly slotting his shot past Szczęsny.
The hosts pulled one back when Ferran Torres flicked on Dani Olmo’s corner for Eric Garcia to head home, and they soon leveled proceedings when Lamine Yamal met Ferran’s lay-off with a superb first-time shot into the bottom corner.
The chances kept coming, and a mix-up between Mbappé and Dani Ceballos was punished by Raphinha racing onto Pedri’s through ball and beating Courtois to complete a 15-minute turnaround.
Moments later, another mistake was punished by Raphinha after he had pickpocketed Lucas Vázquez to fire home at close range.
Mbappe eventually got his hat-trick when Vinícius raced onto Luka Modrić’s pass and laid the ball across for him to convert.
Raphinha and Yamal missed big opportunities for Barca, and Fermin had a goal disallowed for offside, but the hosts held on for a sweet win.
