Horror night at the Bernabeu! Real Madrid defeated Barcelona 2-1 and topped La Liga with a 5-point advantage

There is no shortage of scripts in La Liga derbies, but tonight’s script belongs to white. In the 12th minute, VAR first rejected the penalty kick, and then blew away Mbappe's volley shot. The Bernabeu was booed. However, just 3 minutes later, Bellingham's scalpel went through, and Mbappe calmly single-handedly shot through the clouds, 1-0! Barcelona was sleepwalking in the first 35 minutes, until Pedri stole Guler in the midfield, Rashford made a cake freely, and Fermin Lopez equalized with a push - his 4th goal in the past 2 games!

The climax came in the 2nd minute of stoppage time: Vinicius made a kaleidoscope breakthrough from the left, passed the inverted triangle and bypassed the back point. Militant Mountain pressed the top, and Bellingham ghosted in and shot the goal, 2-1! In the 52nd minute of the second half, Eric Garcia scored a handball, and Mbappe was saved by Szczesny from 12 yards. Barcelona still breathed a sigh of relief. But in the 78th minute, Pedri tackled Chuameni and turned two yellows into one red. Barcelona played one less player and completely stalled.

At the final whistle, Real Madrid won three consecutive El Clasico home games, extending their points advantage to five points. Barcelona lost three of their last five games and was in danger. Bellingham scored 3 goals in 2 games, Mbappe broke the derby ball drought, and Galacticos are aiming for the 36th La Liga championship!
