UNSTOPPABLE L EWANDOWSKI AND Y AMAL
With a brace against Real Madrid, Lewandowski took his total goals in all competitions to 17 this season. The 36-year-old continues to lead the race for the Golden Boot with 14 goals in 11 rounds in La Liga. In a broader sense, the number of goals he scored is equal to the total goals scored by Real Madrid's attacking trio of Mbappe, Vinicius and Rodrygo combined.
As for Lamine Yamal (17 years old), the young Spanish player scored his first goal in the Clasico in a very natural way. He moved comfortably on the right wing and fired a "cannon" shot that tore the roof of goalkeeper Lunin's net. This goal made him the youngest player to score in the Clasico, and this was also the 32nd time in 2024 that he directly participated in a goal for Barcelona.

Meanwhile, star Kylian Mbappe was unlucky in his first appearance in the Clasico with Real Madrid. He was denied a goal in the first half and wasted many chances in the second half. Football website FootballCritic only rated Mbappe's performance 5.1 points, the lowest in the Real Madrid squad. The most notable statistic in his match was 8 offside errors, the highest number of errors recorded by statistics website Opta from a player playing in one of the top 5 European leagues. In the first half alone, the French player was caught offside 7 times. This is the most times Real Madrid have fallen into the offside trap in the first half of La Liga, since Opta started collecting data in the 2003-2004 season. Mbappe is like that, but Vinicius (rumored to be the one to win the Golden Ball) is even more disappointing. He almost "disappeared" on the field when he didn't have a single shot on target, and only had 8 passes.
COACH A NCELOTTI 'S BELIEF
"Until Barcelona scored the opening goal, the game was even. We had chances and could have scored, but we were not effective," said coach Carlo Ancelotti after Real Madrid's 42-match unbeaten run in La Liga was ended at home at the Bernabeu.
The last time Real Madrid lost to Barcelona with a score of 0-4 was more than 2 years ago (March 21, 2022) in the second leg of the El Clasico. That was also the time when coach Ancelotti had just returned for his second term. After the match, the Italian coach recalled that Real Madrid had lost 0-4 at home to Barcelona in La Liga with goals from Ferran Torres, Ronald Araujo and a double from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. But the Spanish Royal team still won La Liga with 86 points, 13 points more than Barcelona. On the way to winning the Spanish Super Cup, they also beat Barcelona 3-2 in the quarter-finals. At the end of that season, coach Ancelotti's team completed the treble when defeating Liverpool 1-0 in the Champions League final thanks to a goal from Vinicius.
"We are hurt, this is a difficult moment. Real Madrid played very competitively in the first 60 minutes, and we need to forget the last 30 minutes. Self-criticism is important, but we have not thrown anything away. The season is long and we will not give up. I am not mistaken, I have been involved in football for 48 years. The last time we lost 0-4 at home to Barcelona, we won La Liga and the Champions League," coach Ancelotti emphasized.
After Raphinha scored the winning goal in a 4-0 win, a member of Barcelona's coaching staff celebrated provocatively, leading to a fight between the two teams. "What happened between me and Flick? I have no problem with him, but one of Flick's assistants celebrated too much when Barcelona scored. Flick agrees with me on this," Ancelotti explained.
This defeat left Real Madrid six points behind Barcelona at the top of La Liga. Under coach Hansi Flick, Barcelona has had 12 wins out of 14 matches in all competitions.
