Barcelona delivered a masterclass in Madrid on Saturday, dismantling Real Madrid 4-0 as Robert Lewandowski and teenage sensation Lamine Yamal stole the spotlight from Kylian Mbappé's first El Clasico appearance. 🔥
Lewandowski broke the deadlock with two clinical goals (54' and 57'), before Yamal shattered records with a rocket strike at just 17 years and 105 days old – becoming the youngest scorer in El Clasico history 🏆. Raphinha capped off the rout with an 84th-minute chip, leaving Madrid's defense in tatters.
🗣️ 'We came to dominate,' Yamal declared post-match, fresh from Barca's midweek 4-1 Champions League demolition of Bayern Munich. 'This team? We’re unstoppable right now.'
While Barcelona extended their ruthless form (21 goals in 5 games), Mbappé endured a nightmare debut against their arch-rivals. The French star was caught offside EIGHT times and squandered multiple chances, prompting Carlo Ancelotti to admit: 'We needed sharper finishing.'
With this win, Barcelona snapped Madrid's 42-game unbeaten league run – stopping them just short of Barca's own historic 43-match streak. ⏳ The Catalans’ resurgence sends a clear message: Europe’s giants better take notice. ⚡
