Barcelona’s decisive 4-0 victory over Real Madrid, led by Robert Lewandowski’s two goals, showcased Hansi Flick’s tactical brilliance.

Barcelona secured a remarkable 4-0 victory over Real Madrid at Santiago Bernabeu, with Robert Lewandowski emerging as the standout performer. The Polish striker broke the deadlock ten minutes into the second half and quickly doubled Barcelona's lead with a powerful header. Although denied a hat-trick by the post, Lewandowski’s brilliance gave Barcelona firm control of the match.
Barcelona’s high defensive line, orchestrated by coach Hansi Flick, caught Real Madrid’s forwards offside repeatedly, nullifying their offensive efforts. Kylian Mbappe saw an early goal disallowed, and Vinicius Jr. struggled against Barcelona’s organized backline. Barcelona created several scoring opportunities, with Lamine Yamal missing a one-on-one and Pedri’s long-range effort saved by Real Madrid goalkeeper Andriy Lunin.
Yamal eventually scored a sensational goal, capitalizing on Barcelona’s dominance. Raphinha added a fourth goal after a direct route-one play, sealing Real Madrid’s defeat and boosting Barcelona's lead in La Liga. Goalkeeper Inaki Pena made crucial saves to deny Real Madrid’s attacking chances, particularly against Mbappe in the second half.
Barcelona’s comprehensive win highlights Flick’s tactical prowess and the squad’s resilience, putting them six points clear in the league standings
