Barcelona settles the El Clasico summit at the expense of Real Madrid and is close to the La Liga title
Barcelona won the El Clasico summit against its arch-rivals Real Madrid 2-1, on Sunday evening, in the match that was held at the “Spotify Camp Nou”, the stronghold of the Blaugrana, as part of the 26th round of La Liga.
With this result, the Catalan team raised the difference to 12 points, separating it from its rival and runner-up in order, as it reached 68 points, compared to 58 for the royal team.
Despite the distinguished start of the meeting, under pressure from the local team, with attempts from Ravinha and Robert Lewandowski, but progress came in favor of the Royals and through friendly fire, after Uruguayan Ronald Araujo scored a goal against his team from a header in the ninth minute of the match.
And the Brazilian Vinicius Junior succeeded in presenting his usual level, after the criticism that he faced in the last El Clasico meeting in the cup competition, where he succeeded in creating more than one dangerous opportunity, and penetrating the defenses of the Catalan team, after the siege imposed by Araujo on him in the previous meeting, but in the last minutes. For the first session, Barca pressed Thibaut Courtois again, and Sergi Roberto equalized in the final seconds.
In the second half, the two teams exchanged control, as the royal team was trying to come out with a victory that brought it back to the atmosphere of competition for the title title, and after several changes, Marco Asensio succeeded in scoring the second goal for the royal team, before the “mouse” technique intervened and confirmed the existence of an infiltration case that preceded the goal, But Casey settled El Clasico with a goal at the fatal time of the match, igniting the joys of the Catalan fans with the precious victory.
