El Clasico History Made: Yamal Shatters 77-Year Record Against Real Madrid in La Liga
Barcelona broke Real Madrid’s impressive 42-game unbeaten streak in La Liga and took a six-point lead at the top of the standings after Saturday’s El Clasico.
The first half was tense, with Real Madrid’s Kylian Mbappe seeing a goal called off for offside. But in the second half, Barcelona took control, scoring four times.
Robert Lewandowski opened the scoring in the 56th minute with a clean strike from outside the box and added another goal just two minutes later from Alejandro Balde’s cross.
Lamine Yamal, just 17 years old, made history in the 77th minute by becoming the youngest scorer in El Clasico history, breaking a record that had stood since 1947.
Raphinha capped off the victory with a clever lob after receiving a pass from Inigo Martinez, marking a memorable debut El Clasico win for Barcelona’s new manager, Hansi Flick.
Real Madrid’s manager, Carlo Ancelotti, missed the opportunity to match Barcelona’s 43-game unbeaten La Liga record and fell short of becoming the first manager since 1991 to lead Real Madrid to three straight El Clasico home wins.
