As the El Clasico unfolded, Barcelona triumphed over Real Madrid 4-3, extending their lead to seven points with three matches remaining in the league. Despite Kylian Mbappe's incredible hat-trick for Madrid, which initially gave them a 2-0 lead within the first 14 minutes, Barcelona made a stunning comeback. Raphinha scored twice, while Lamine Yamal and Eric García added a goal each, turning the game around to lead 4-2 at halftime.
Mbappe completed his hat-trick in the 70th minute, but Madrid could not recover, significantly damaging their title defense hopes. With this performance, Mbappe became the league's top scorer with 27 goals, surpassing Barcelona's Robert Lewandowski. In the final moments of the game, Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti chose to bring on teenager Endrick Felipe and debutant Víctor Muñoz instead of the fit Rodrygo, which sparked rumors of a rift between the two.
Ancelotti addressed these claims, stating that Rodrygo was not fully fit and the decision was based on fitness concerns, emphasizing that there were no issues between them. Madrid also struggled with five key defensive absences, which compounded their problems during the match.
