(CNN Spanish) -
With a goal from the Austrian David Alaba and a goal from Lucas Vásquez at the end of the game, Real Madrid conquered the Camp Nou for the second consecutive season by beating FC Barcelona 1-2.
This is the fourth consecutive victory for the Whites over the Catalans in the Classic, which allows Carlo Ancelotti's team to get five points from Barça this season.
It was a special Classic, and not only because it was the first since legends such as Lionel Messi and Sergio Ramos left, but because the most important game in Spanish football once again had the element that gives life to the sport: the public, who It gave color and atmosphere to the stands of the Camp Nou.
The Seal of Alaba
It was a first half of high rhythms, where both Catalans and whites showed the will to seek the rival goal.
While Barça was looking for a more elaborate football and to take advantage of the sparks of Memphis and Ansu Fati on the offensive front, Real was betting on a direct game, where Vinicius was inspired by one-on-one duels.
After Sergiño Dest forgave by sending a shot high a few meters from Courtois' goal, the Madridistas hit.
At 32 minutes, Alaba stole the ball from Memphis and set up a counterattack that Vinicius and Rodrygo continued for Alaba himself to finish with a left-footed shot to the far post.
The Catalans reacted with another clear chance from Piqué.
However, he lacked a Barcelona that created more than Madrid in the first half, but the forcefulness was on the side of those led by Ancelotti.

Barça without forcefulness
Koeman risked the entry of Coutinho for Mingueza.
While the blaugranas advanced lines in search of the tie, the madridistas found spaces for the counterattack and sometimes they were left in the possibility of beating Ter Stegen again.

The game was for Real Madrid to sentence him.
However, Benzema and company forgave on a couple of occasions and Barcelona, who could not find the way in the complement, remained alive.
The bet of the "Kun" Agüero was Koeman's move to try to overturn the commitment.
Despite the offensive profile, Barça did not find the way to the goal, while Real solidified in defense to fasten the result, and through Lucas Vázquez in the final minutes of the game he achieved the second and lapidary goal, to conquer the Camp Nou for the second consecutive season.
Sergio Agüero's first Barca discount at the end of the match was of little use.
