In his final iteration of 2024/25, El Clasico refused to disappoint.
It was a campaign for outstanding duels between the two giants of Spain. Two Barcelona routes were followed by a large Copa del Rey final of all time last month, and on Sunday afternoon there were gays in catalonia in abundance.
Travis Scott was present for Barcelona’s extremely significant victory, since the hosts ruthlessly exploited a Real Madrid defense, who spent a large part of the competition with star gazing to the American rapper.
This was as open as a football game that you will probably ever see. There were seven goals, but there could have been at least 67. Every attack sequence seemed to lead to a moment of the note, and rarely the fight allowed the parties to take off.
In the end, Barca’s 4: 3 triumph left it on the edge of the La Liga-Ruhm, while in 2024/25 she confirmed a seasonable disappointment in the Spanish capital. Here are four things that we learned from the game.
The La Liga and Champions League double last season last season seemed to be the beginning of a time of the Real Madrid Vorance in Spain. Many suggested that the rich only add how the world’s best footballer in Kylian Mbappe added the world’s best footballer.
The Frenchman developed well after a rather slow start. His hat trick means that he now leads Robert Lewandowski in the Pichichi classification with 27 goals from La Liga in La Liga, but Mbappe’s goalkeeper prize should be the only honor that Madrid is from a bitter, disappointing campaign.
Not even Master Balancer Carlo Ancelotti could put these players together. While Madrid have The ability to purr as a collective is rarely predominant. As a result, they have often shown a fairly ignorant form and Ancelotti’s outdated ideals fade compared to the exciting principles to which this Barca team adheres to.
The defeat on Sunday means that Ancelottis will end last year without domestic silver or the Champions League, and it is due to Xabi Alonso, Madrid to work with telepathy that Barcelona controlled to the promised country this season.
The only thing missing from Yamal’s performance against Inter on Tuesday was a degree. While the Spaniard was thwarted several times by the outstanding Yann Sommer a week a week, Yamal was also guilty of producing surfaces, which was not entirely the quality of his overall performance.
However, the superstar of teenage did not allow time to talk about a potential problem in the last third on Sunday. In the middle of another divine display of maybe the best in the world, Yamal Barcelona’s second scored with emphatic curling.
The winger kept himself with the greatest intention of Ferran Torres’ release and subtly turned the ball past a desperate Thibaut Courtois. Not even Summer would have had a chance.
They suspect that this is the goal that Yamal will make a habit of scoring a goal.
The goals in the Montjuic were so relentless that they seemed to lose value. We are not quite sure how “fun” this Clasico received the degree of defense.
Flick’s aggressive line of defense worked wonderfully when Barcelona was fresh, but this season was a slog and her energy level without the ball no longer promotes success with a high line. They have at least twice in five of their previous seven excursions in all competitions and at least three out of four. If Borja Iglesias rested against this fading Barcelona team, what would you do for Mbappe and Vini Jr.?
A zonal approach meant that Madrid’s two superstars often broke behind without touch. After sales, the hosts were immediately vulnerable. Now it is not to deny that Flick’s aggressive line this season was the key to her success and contributes to her ability to suffocate and maintaining, but Barcelona’s sad defensive shows the question of whether such an approach is sustainable in the long run.
Although Barca’s madness gives a method, Madrid was without a single idea of how to prevent the home team from winning the Clasico on Sunday. They were not well equipped for a large part of Ancelotti’s second term, and Mbappes arrival tightened their suffering without the ball.
You can go through, around and over this Madrid backline.
Rodrygo has long been planned as a underestimated fourth rider of this attack by Real Madrid, but the Brazilian fell out of favor before a potential summer train.
After Rodrygo missed the 3-2 victory over Celta Vigo because of an obvious illness, he was played for more than 3,200 minutes in all competitions this season, but was again in Ancelotti’s squad for the Clasico, but it failed to go to the field.
Something is wrong. Ancelotti turned to Victor Munoz’s debutants to replace the injured Vinicius Junior in the final phase, even though Rodrygo was available. A possible departure was talked about this summer, and Ancelotti’s sudden preference for Arda Guler indicates that the Brazilian star on the way from the Spanish capital may be on the way.
This felt like a clear indication.
