Oman today_ Real Madrid demonstrated that they are always a force to be reckoned with at the Bernabéu by defeating Barcelona 2–1 in one of the most thrilling El Clásicos in recent years. Flick’s side applied constant pressure with discipline and quick play, keeping Barcelona on the back foot and securing victory through goals from Mbappé and Bellingham.
Barcelona relied mainly on a few key players: Pedri, who shone despite being sent off, Fermín, who remained reliable, and Szczęsny, whose outstanding goalkeeping prevented the scoreline from widening. However, Lamine Yamal and other players failed to make a significant impact. Defensive mistakes and a lack of coordination at the back allowed Real to convert golden opportunities into goals.
In the second half, Barcelona found hope as VAR awarded a penalty in their favor, but Szczęsny’s save from Mbappé kept them from scoring. On the other hand, Real maintained control of the game with organized play led by Chaumeni, ultimately securing the win.
This result not only highlights Real Madrid’s superiority in the first El Clásico of the season but also signals the strength and readiness of Flick’s team against their traditional rivals, while Barcelona still struggles to find cohesion and stability in their lineup.
