In an unforgettable El Cl\u00e1sico at the Estadi Ol\u00edmpic Lluis Companys, FC Barcelona defeated Real Madrid 4-3. This result that could decide the fate of this season\u2019s La Liga title.<\/p>\n
Kylian Mbapp\u00e9 gave Madrid a dream start with two quick goals, but Barcelona turned the game around in stunning fashion. Eric Garc\u00eda got one back, Lamine Yamal scored the equaliser, and Raphinha netted twice to give the hosts a 4-2 lead at halftime. Mbapp\u00e9 completed his hat-trick after the break, but Real couldn\u2019t find a late equaliser.<\/p>\n
Barcelona now sit seven points clear at the top of the table, with just three games left to play. Their remaining matches are against Espanyol (away), Villarreal (home), and Athletic Club (away). All these fixtures seems to be easy for the club who are in great run of form.<\/p>\n
Real Madrid still have three games to go as well, they\u2019ll face Mallorca at home, Sevilla away, and Real Sociedad at home.<\/p>\n
So the question remains here is \u2013 Can Madrid still win the title? Technically yes, but the chances are very slim. They must win all three of their games and hope Barcelona lose all of theirs, a scenario that looks very unlikely at this stage. A draw in one of Barcelona\u2019s three pending games would also be helpful for Real Madrid if they win all of their three.<\/p>\n
However, it is not as easy as this writing piece says, Madrid will have to hope that Barcelona bottle up their 7-goal lead which could make way for their triumph.<\/p>\n
To make matters worse, there\u2019s growing talk that manager Carlo Ancelotti could leave at the end of the season, possibly to take over Brazil\u2019s national team. That uncertainty might already be affecting the team\u2019s focus and stability.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
