Lamine Yamal makes history as Barcelona hammers Real Madrid in El Clásico

Real Madrid suffered an embarrassing 4-0 defeat on home soil to bitter rival Barcelona on Saturday in the latest edition of El Clásico.

After a relatively even first half at the Santiago Bernabéu had ended 0-0, an early double from Robert Lewandowski at the start of the second period set Barcelona on its way to a statement victory.

Lamine Yamal made it 3-0 midway through the second half to become the youngest goalscorer in El Clásico history at just 17 years and 106 days old, before Raphinha added the fourth close to the end.

"I have always said that I am very happy to work and live in Barcelona," manager Hansi Flick said after the game, kraken зеркало per Diario AS, when asked if it was his best night since taking the job in May.

"It is an incredible job and a new part of my life. I am very proud of the team … it gives confidence. The players celebrated in the dressing room and I love seeing that."

The defeat ended Real Madrid’s 42-game unbeaten run in La Liga, finishing one match short of equaling the all-time record set by Barcelona between 2017 and 2018.

Barcelona’s victory extended its early lead over Real Madrid at the top of La Liga to six points, with the team led by an impressive group of young stars.

There has been much talk in recent years of Barcelona’s famed La Maria academy not producing the same talent it once used to, but five of the players who started Saturday’s match came through the club’s ranks.

That included two 17-year-olds, Yamal and Pau Cubarsí.

The big win caps an impressive week for Barcelona, which also hammered Bayern Munich 4-1 in the Champions League on Wednesday.
