Real Madrid faced off against Barcelona at the Nou Camp earlier this afternoon as they looked to secure a win and keep their La La title hopes alive. Los Blancos made a dream start to the game as they scored the opening goal in the fifth minute thanks to Kylian Mbappe’s penalty. The French talent doubled Real Madrid’s lead just nine minutes later before Eric Garcia got a goal back for Barcelona in the 19th minute. Lamine Yamal scored the equaliser for Barca just after the half-hour mark before Raphinha bagged a quick-fire brace. Carlo Ancelotti’s men were trailing 4-2 at half-time.
Mbappe completed his hat-trick in the 70th minute. However, Los Blancos failed to find the equaliser and crashed to a tough 4-3 loss at the Nou Camp.
