In the agony of the classic,
Barcelona
beat Real Madrid 2-1 at the Camp Nou and stretched its lead in LaLiga to 12 points.
The Merengue team began winning with a goal against Ronald Araujo and the Catalan team turned it around with goals from Sergio Roberto and Franck Kessié from Ivory Coast in the first added minute.
The Spanish classic, which was played at the
Camp Nou,
started with everything.
After an initial dominance by Barcelona that had two goal situations before the 7th minute and which showed the goalkeeper
Thibaut Courtois
as the protagonist by rejecting a strong shot from
Robert Lewandowski
,
Real Madrid
took the lead after 9 minutes, after a cross behind
Vinicius
, who deflected into
Ronald Araujo
's head and dislodged goalkeeper
Marc-André ter Stegen
.
After the goal, Real Madrid withdrew and tried to resolve the classic against.
But few times in the first stage he demanded
Ter Stegen
.
Barcelona worked hard on attempts to break the iron, from below and from above, going overboard with aerial deliveries but always tempting with a striker like
Lewandowski
in the area.
Twice
Christensen
was close , first with a header that went just wide and then with a cue that found
Courtois
well off .
At 33 minutes, the Belgian goalkeeper rejected a strong shot from
Rafinha
for a corner , who looked for the hole from right to left, like Messi.
And finally, after 44 minutes, the LaLiga leader found the tie, after another risky situation.
First,
Lewandowski
got to the bottom, sent a cross back,
Raphinha
tried to hit it first and missed the ball.
The play continued and after a series of rebounds,
Sergi Roberto
equalized with a precise right hand.
The final part had a strong local predominance that managed to break Courtois, the great figure of the classic.
Ancelotti's team was clear that they could take the three points against and that was their objective.
Then, the ball was handled by Barcelona, trying to enter the area touching and from the sides, appealing to the air centers much less than in the initial part.
The merengue coach surprised with the entry of Rodrygo for Kroos, after 16 minutes, to give more power to the offense.
At minute 28, the Culé team had their chance, after a combination between Lewandowski and Rafinha, and the shot from the extreme right was sent to the corner by the Merengue goalkeeper.
After 29 minutes, Barcelona made a mistake at the start, the ball remained with Benzema and the Frenchman's shot went straight into the hands of Ter Stegen.
TO
And one minute, the VAR saved Barcelona, after Asensio's conversion.
Ancelotti's intention had paid off, each attack by Real Madrid was extremely dangerous.
Thus, from a play from left to right, Carvajal set up Asensio, which he converted.
But the action was reviewed and the merengue player was ahead by one shoulder.
The last minutes were worthy of a classic, stick to stick.
In the end, the celebration went to Barcelona, which added its third victory in a row against Madrid and seems to be heading non-stop towards the LaLiga title.
