Barcelona run wild as winners. Madrid embarrassed Clásico.

Real Madrid's unbeaten streak of 42 LaLiga games came to an end on Saturday, with Barcelona winning El Clásico 4-0 in Madrid.



All eyes were on the Santiago Bernabéu as two Spanish giants faced off once more. However, during these 90 minutes of action, one team executed their game plan perfectly while the other remained uncomfortable in their own backyard.

Real Madrid should have opened the scoring in the first half, but they were the architects of their own defeat. Seven offside calls were made against the hosts in the first 45 minutes, six of which were against Kylian Mbappé.

Looking for his first Clásico goal, the superstar summer signing was often thwarted by Barcelona's strong defensive line. Vinicius Junior and Jude Bellingham took up the offensive burden in the absence of the injured Rodrygo, although neither performed to their full potential.

Meanwhile, in a second half of full Blaugrana dominance, Hansi Flick's men kept their cool and won this Hollywood fixture.

Barcelona, who can now consider themselves the offside-trip kings of Europe, kept composed and knew their opportunity would come. Then two did it in less than two minutes to startle Madrid.

Madrid, who were dull and disoriented for the final half hour, lost a third and fourth after Mbappé's potential score was called offside once more.

Lamine Yamal broke Ansu Fati's record for the youngest goal scorer in Clásico history when he rifled home at the near post for 3-0. An in-form Raphinha then guaranteed Barcelona walked away laughing when he dinked Lunin, while Lucas Vázquez's attempt to clear the ball resulted in him colliding with the netting.

As a result, Flick's side now leads the reigning champions by six points in the rankings.

Fiorentina midfielder Edoardo Bove collapsed during a Serie A match.

Edoardo Bove, a Fiorentina midfielder, slumped on the pitch during his team's Serie A match against Inter Milan on Sunday. Bove's teammates hastily shouted for medical assistance and surrounded the 22-year-old before doctors treated him and quickly transferred him to a nearby ambulance on the side of the pitch. The event occurred in the 16th minute of the match, which was momentarily suspended at 0-0 and then abandoned with plans to reschedule later in the season. According to Sky Sport Italia, Bove was rushed to the Careggi Hospital near Fiorentina's Stadio Artemio Franchi. The Italian broadcaster later stated that Bove was breathing and beating on his own. In the minutes following Bove's fall, his teammates and opponents were visibly stunned and sad, with some in tears. In April, Roma defender Evan Ndicka collapsed with a hand on his chest, and Piermario Morosini died after heart arrest during a Serie B match 12 years ago. Inter and Fiorentina are both near the ...

Barcelona dealt enormous injury blow ahead of Inter and Real Madrid clashes.

In a heartbreaking evening, Barcelona came back from two goals down against Inter in the Champions League semi-final first leg. The Blaugrana will believe they should have won the game after losing twice from set pieces. Now they're calculating the expense. After only 42 minutes, French defender Jules Kounde collapsed on the pitch, clutching the back of his calf. He had to be replaced by Eric Garcia, who performed admirably as a right-back out of position. Kounde's injury has raised concerns ahead of a number of critical games. Kounde will be tested on Thursday, but it appears that he has a muscle problem, most likely more serious than a grade tear. According to Sport, Kounde will miss their La Liga match against Real Valladolid, their Champions League return leg in Milan against Inter, and their decisive Clasico against Real Madrid the following weekend. Kounde was seen limping as he exited the stadium, telling the cameras, 'We'll see tomorrow'.
