Real Madrid wins popular El Clasico, La Liga leads Barcelona by five points

In the fiery El Clasico on Sunday (October 26), Real Madrid relied on goals from Mbappe and Bellingham to defeat Barcelona 2-1 at home, ending their four-game losing streak and expanding their lead in the La Liga standings. The two teams clashed before and after the game, causing the referee to show six yellows and one red.

Real Madrid had the advantage in this game. If three goals were not invalidated due to offside (Mbappe's two goals in the first half and Bellingham's one in the second half), Barcelona goalkeeper Szczesny saved nine goals, including blocking Mbappe's penalty kick in the second half, Real Madrid would have won by a larger margin, and Mbappe would have also scored a hat trick.

After a wonderful volley outside the penalty area was invalidated for offside in the 12th minute, Mbappe received a through ball from Bellingham 10 minutes later and scored single-handedly, giving Real Madrid the lead. Barcelona took advantage of Guler's ball control error in the 38th minute and Fermin Lopez equalized the score.

But Real Madrid took the lead again five minutes later. Vinicius crossed from the left, Militao headed the ball over, and Bellingham scored in front of the goal.

There were two conflicts at the end of the game. Yamal was accused of talking too much.

In the second half, Barcelona almost failed to threaten Real Madrid goalkeeper Courtois. Barcelona midfielder Pedri recklessly tackled Tchouameni in the ninth minute of stoppage time and was sent off after receiving a second yellow card, which kicked off the conflict.

At the same time, players from the two teams clashed on the sidelines and shouted at each other, forcing on-site security to enter to maintain order. Courtois kicked off the ball after the situation stabilized, and the game ended immediately, but the second conflict broke out again.

Players from the two teams clashed after the game, and the scene was tense.

Real Madrid captain Carvajal turned to Barcelona's talented star Yamar, who was showing a sluggish performance in the game. l) gestured, seemingly indicating that Yamal "talks too much" because Yamal ridiculed Real Madrid in a pre-match interview for "cheating, complaining and doing things he doesn't know about", which aroused the anger of the Real Madrid camp and was booed by Real Madrid fans every time he touched the ball.

The two teams formed a group again. Yamal was separated by his teammates and walked to the sidelines. Vinicius yelled at him and made the same gesture of "talking too much", but was also blocked by Real Madrid staff.

Although TV footage showed that Real Madrid substitute goalkeeper Lunin was shown a yellow card in the first conflict, according to referee Grado's post-match report, Lunin was sent off directly for leaving the team's range and rushing into the opponent's area in an extremely aggressive manner. In addition, Real Madrid's Vinicius, Militao and Rodrygo, as well as Barcelona's Lopez, Ferran Torres and Balde also received yellow cards in the conflict.

After this fierce game, Real Madrid accumulated 27 points in the standings, five points ahead of second-place Barcelona.

Real Madrid coach: It’s still early to compete for the title The conflict should not be over-interpreted

Real Madrid coach Alonso said after the game: "We know it is only October, (the championship) is still early, and there is still a lot of work to do. But we want to feel good about ourselves, and today we did it. We need a lot of things shown today."

For the conflict at the end of the game, Alonso Ronso said: "I don't think we should over-interpret this. This is football, this is a national derby."

Yamal is basically "invisible" in this game. He replaced the suspended Barcelona coach Flick. Barcelona assistant coach Sorg, who coached on the sidelines, believes that the hostile atmosphere on the court may have affected Yamal's performance.

"It's possible, maybe a little (influence). Because he is learning to face the audience, face the boos... It is a process. Yes, he is usually very motivated, but it was not so easy for him today."
