Despite being pre-season friendly, El Clasico is all about heat and excitement. At any stage, the fans' interest is also high in the match between Real Madrid and Barcelona. Last night, Real Barça fans were in the AT&T Stadium in Texas. Barcelona fans had the last laugh in the fight. The Catalan superpowers beat Real 3-0 by playing great. With this victory, Barca also maintained their dominance against Real in the field of the United States. They have won 3 matches so far.
In this win, Javi Hernandez's team gave a warning to Real before the start of the season. Barca won the La Liga title after beating Real last season. This time they have made their goal bigger. The club wants to regain its dominance on the stage of European excellence. And the match also indicated that Real must be better prepared to beat Barca.
In this El Clasico match, both teams entered the field with strong elevens. In a 4-3-3 formation, Real played stars like Vinicius Jr., Rodrigo, and Jude Bellingham in attack. On the other hand, Barca kept Ilkay Gundowan from Man City along with Robert Lewandowski, Ousmane Dembele, and Pedro. In the match, Real was ahead in ball possession and attack, but not Barca. Real shot 29 with 53 percent possession of the ball. Although they can only put 5 shots on target. On the other hand, Barca took 12 shots and put 7 on target. On this day, Barca fought mainly in the finishing. On the other hand, Real lost several chances and lost the match.
From the beginning of the match, however, both teams presented attacking football. Dembele gave Barca the lead in the 15th minute. After receiving the ball from Pedri in the D-box, the French star hit the target with a corner shot. After that, Real continued to try hard to equalize the match. In the 20th minute, a golden opportunity came in front of Vinicius from the penalty. But Vinny wasted that opportunity. Real were desperate to get back into the match for the rest of the first half. Barca also wanted to increase the gap but neither team found the net, sometimes forgetting themselves and sometimes due to the tenacity of the goalkeeper.
Even after the break, the match went from attack to attack. Both teams are desperate for goals. Chances were being created, but neither team could finish well. However, several chances were wasted in this match despite sticking to the post. Barca finally scored their second goal in the 85th minute. Lopez Martin gave Barca a 2-0 lead with a bullet-speed shot from Sergio Roberto.
After that, Barca's dominance again in added time. Now Torres gets the ball from Lopez. The Spanish forward lifted the ball over the head of Aguan goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois and then went ahead again with a superb finish. After this goal, Real had to leave the field with a big loss.
