Real Madrid v Barcelona

COMMENTARY
Post Match
A four-goal showing in the second period extends Barcelona’s lead at the top of the table to six points, with the Blaugrana thrashing Real Madrid 4-0 at the Santiago Bernabeu. The first half came to a close at 0-0 despite the best efforts of Mbappe, who saw a goal chalked off for offside either side of the interval, but Barcelona put their dominance on full display in the second half, capitalising on the mistakes of their opponents and hitting at pace with instinct and incision to blow their opponents away. Lewandowski’s two goals in two minutes just ahead of the hour put Flick’s side in a dominant position, with Casado playing the striker into a scoring position to take the lead before doubling the advantage with an expert header. Ancelotti’s team struggled to disrupt the Blaugrana’s rhythm and squandered a number of opportunities by failing to time their runs, with the linesman calling the hosts for offside 12 times - erasing two goals in the process. Yamal lashed a finish past Lunin with just under a quarter-hour remaining to take the lead to three after an unselfish assist from Raphinha, who popped up for the fourth with a controlled volley six minutes from time. Barcelona finish with an xG of 2.45 and stay at the top ahead of a match with Espanyol on November 3, while second-placed Real Madrid fail to score with 1.48 and will look to set things right against Valencia on Saturday. That concludes our commentary of the LaLiga fixture between Real Madrid and Barcelona, we hope you’ve enjoyed it!
