Barcelona demolished Real Madrid 4-0 at the Santiago Bernabéu on Sunday, ending their 42-game unbeaten run in La Liga and extending their lead at the top of the table to six points.
Robert Lewandowski scored a brace in the second half, opening the scoring with a clinical finish from the edge of the box before adding a header shortly after. The Polish striker also had two other excellent chances but missed the target.
Lamine Yamal, at just 17 years and 105 days old, became the youngest player to score in a La Liga Clásico this century, smashing home a goal with 13 minutes remaining. His strike followed a slick team move and capped off a dominant performance by the Catalan side.
Raphinha, continuing his impressive start to the season, completed the rout with a delicate lob over Real Madrid goalkeeper Andriy Lunin in the 84th minute.
The result marks a significant setback for Real Madrid, whose unbeaten streak was just one game short of equalling Barcelona’s all-time record of 43 matches. Meanwhile, Barcelona’s victory sends a clear message of their ambition and dominance in La Liga this season.
