Robert Lewandowski looted his 13th and 14th goals of the season as Barcelona ended Real Madrid’s 42 game unbeaten LaLiga run with 4-0 thrashing at the Bernabeu Stadium.
The Poland international opened the scoring with a 54th-minute strike and headed home a second two minutes later before Lamine Yamal and Raphinha struck to complete the scoring.
It proven a barren night for Real Madrid superstar Kylian Mbappe, who was repeatedly caught offside in his first El Clasico and saw a first-half strike ruled out by VAR as the champions failed to make the most of early pressure.
“We started very well. In the first half, we did well,” Hansi Flick stated afterwards before highlighting his side’s signature high line defense.
“The defense was high up. It seems dangerous and risky, but it isn’t. It worked. In the end, we made the right changes at half-time, we made a change at halt-time, and we also pressed more. In the second half, we had more control of the ball. That’s what I told them to do at half-time.
Each match and opponent are different, and adaptations are made. We all work on defense, and we always do. The four at the back and Inaki have done a great Job”.
