Barcelona moved seven points clear at the top of La Liga after securing a dramatic 4-3 win against rivals Real Madrid in El Clasico.
The win stretched lead over Madrid in second to seven points for Hansi Flick’s side, with three games remaining in the campaign following a seven-goal thriller at the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys.
Kylian Mbappe’s double inside the first 15 minutes of the game fired Madrid into a commanding lead but Eric Garcia’s header ignited the comeback for his side.
Lamine Yamal then curled in a stunning equaliser just after the half-hour mark before Raphinha netted a quickfire double of his own, with a glaring miss from close range sandwiched between the goals, to give Barcelona a 4-2 lead at the break.

There was a disallowed goal for Mbappe just before the whistle was blown, and another twist looked to be on the way when the Frenchman completed his hat-trick with 20 minutes remaining.
Fermin Lopez then climbed off the bench to fire home a fifth for the hosts which was also disallowed for handball, but with just seconds on the clock, Barcelona held on to secure all three points as they moved closer to a 28th league title.
