Real Madrid defeated FC Barcelona by 3-2 in the last El-Clasico of the season as the Los Blacons now have one hand on the La Liga 2023-24 trophy. They now have an 11-point lead over second-positioned FC Barcelona and barring any miracles, they will have their 36th Spanish title at the end of the season.
Andreas Christensen scored an early goal to give the visitors an early lead but a clean penalty taken by Vinicius Jr helped Real Madrid make a comeback within a few minutes. In the second half, Barcelona had to go for the goal since a draw would have been enough for Real Madrid to get close to the title. In the 69th minute, Fermin Lopez scored for Barcelona to give them the lead, but Xavi Hernandez's men were hit by an equaliser from Lucas Vazquez.
Jude Bellingham then put the coffin of Barcelona's dream in the added times to keep Real Madrid and Carlo Ancelotti's winning run.
