Barcelona’s losing run against Real Madrid finally ended on Monday as the Catalans enjoyed a stunning 4-0 win at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, a humiliation of their fiercest rivals suggesting they are primed to challenge again for La Liga next season.
Barca kept their recent momentum going under coach Xavi Hernandez in the last Clasico of the season. The win ended Barcelona’s five-match losing streak to their rivals and maintained an outside chance of fighting for the title after a difficult start to their first season without Lionel Messi.
The victory was their first against Real since 2019 and came in style like a few others Barca enjoyed with Messi in his prime.—AP
