El Clasico Clean Sweep: Barcelona Make History With 4-0 Record Over Real Madrid

Before Sunday, Real Madrid had already lost all three previous El Clasico meetings across the league, Copa del Rey and Spanish Super Cup.

Barcelona have etched their name in El Clasico history, becoming the first team ever to defeat Real Madrid in four Clasico clashes in a single season. Across the league, Copa del Rey, and Supercopa de Espana, the Catalans have outclassed Los Blancos with an aggregate scoreline of 16–7, asserting their dominance in one of world football’s most iconic rivalries.

Barcelona’s latest victory came in a pulsating 4–3 victory at the Lluis Companys Olympic Stadium, where Hansi Flick’s side overturned an early two-goal deficit. Kylian Mbappe struck twice within the opening 14 minutes, seemingly setting the tone for a Real Madrid victory. But Barca had other plans.

Mbappe’s Hat-trick Goes in Vain

Eric Garcia’s header from a corner sparked the Barcelona comeback, followed by a moment of magic from Lamine Yamal, who curled in a stunning equalizer. Just two minutes later, Raphinha pounced on defensive confusion to give the hosts the lead. The Brazilian wasn’t done yet, he bagged his second before halftime after capitalizing on a loose ball and then slotting home from Ferran Torres’ cut-back.

Despite Mbappe completing his hat-trick late on, it was not enough for Real Madrid. Fermin Lopez saw a potential fifth Barca goal ruled out for handball. Barcelona survived a late flurry from Real Madrid to claim the win and move seven points clear at the top of La Liga with just three games left. Notably, this was the first time that a team had come back from two goals down to win a Clasico since 1959, when Barcelona last accomplished the feat.

Barcelona’s victory followed their earlier three triumphs this season:

1. A 4–0 demolition at the Santiago Bernabeu in October.

2. A 5–2 rout in the Supercopa de Espana final in January.

3. A thrilling 3–2 win in the Copa del Rey final in April.

Barcelona now have their sights set on wrapping up the La Liga title. A win over city rivals Espanyol on Thursday would seal it, or they could be crowned champions earlier if Real Madrid fail to beat Mallorca.
