Last night's classic game between Barcelona and Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu delivered one of the most memorable encounters in recent memory. Barcelona held the lead twice, but Real Madrid emerged victorious with a 3-2 scoreline, widening the gap between them to 11 points and paving the way for a potential championship win over their arch-rivals, who are set to end the season without a title.
Jude Bellingham further cemented his place in football history by becoming the first player since Rod van Nistelrooy in 2007 to score in his first two El Clasico matches against Barcelona. What makes Bellingham's feat even more remarkable is that he accomplished it twice in extra time.
With 21 goals and 10 assists this season, the Englishman's performance continues to astound, earning praise from Phil Kitromildes, a prominent journalist covering the Spanish league, who described it as "the most amazing debut season you'll ever see."
Real Madrid's resilience was highlighted by midfielder Luka Modric, who emphasized the team's unwavering character and belief despite falling behind multiple times. Lucas Vazquez, once on the fringes of the squad, emerged as another hero for Real Madrid with his standout performances against Barcelona and Manchester City.
Ancelotti praised his players' energy, spirit, and character, refusing to engage with claims from Barcelona that Real's victory was aided by the referee. Instead, he expressed pride in his team's accomplishments, labeling the week as truly unforgettable.
