FC Barcelona leads 2–0 against Real Madrid CF in the latest edition of El Clásico at Camp Nou, with the Catalan side looking dominant in front of their home fans.
Even before kickoff, Real Madrid were already under pressure in the league title race, sitting 11 points behind Barcelona. A defeat would leave them even further behind in the standings, while Barcelona continues to protect its impressive unbeaten home record this season.
Barcelona made a dream start to the match as Marcus Rashford opened the scoring in the 9th minute. The home crowd erupted again just nine minutes later when Ferran Torres doubled the lead in the 18th minute after a fine assist from Dani Olmo.
Both Rashford and Torres celebrated by running toward Barcelona manager Hansi Flick in what appeared to be a touching show of support and respect. The moment carried extra emotion as Flick is reportedly mourning the recent death of his father, yet still took charge of Barcelona for this crucial El Clásico clash.
Despite trailing by two goals, Vinícius Júnior gave Real Madrid fans something to smile about. The Brazilian winger gestured “15” toward the Barcelona supporters, proudly reminding them of Real Madrid’s record 15 UEFA Champions League titles.
