El Clasico

Carlo Ancelotti took responsibility for Real Madrid's 4-0 El Clasico thrashing by Barcelona on Sunday, saying the defeat was "my fault.

"We'd have taken this at the start of the season, being nine points ahead and in the Champions League quarterfinals on March 20," he said. We weren't compact," he told Movistar. "We have to talk about the tactics internally. We have to forget it and look forward, we have a big lead [in the table]. I said [to the players] that it was the coach's fault." Sometimes you get it right and sometimes you don't. I failed." Added Ancelotti: "The plan with Modric was to try to play the ball out from the back and find space between the lines with Rodrygo, [Federico] Valverde and Vinicius. It didn't work. "It was one of our worst games of the season," Nacho said.

Twitter was ruthless in roasting Real Madrid after their 4-0 defeat at the hands of Barcelona during El Clasico on Sunday.

The game was completely dominated by Barcelona, with Real Madrid scarcely managing to come across a scoring opportunity. — Troll Football (@TrollFootball)March 20, 2022 Real Madrid looked like a shell of themselves during their humbling defeat in El Clasico on Sunday against Barcelona. The 4-0 defeat was humiliating for the club in what was a crucial game for Los Blancos. Barcelona took full control of the game from the opening minutes, with virtually every attack leading to a scoring opportunity for the Catalan side.

Barcelona never planned to sign Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in January. The Camp Nou club had already added Ferran Torres and Adama Traore to their attack ...

This was in recognition of how Barcelona’s technicians needed more space to operate. Given the deep-lying financial difficulties of the club, it felt as if a long-term project was under way. It was a role he was tipped for even as he was still a player. Aubameyang was at the centre of all that Barcelona did well, which was rather a lot. This is without even mentioning the traumatic exit of Lionel Messi last summer and the perilous financial circumstances that caused it. Aubameyang has been the final piece of the puzzle Xavi, who recently described the Gabon international as “a gift from heaven,” didn’t even know his team needed.

Auba has been fantastic, Ferran is fitting in nicely, they have so much young talent, and even more will be coming. They've scored four goals in five different matches in the last month, and they've only gone without a goal once since early December. They produced an xG of just 0.85, one of their worst outputs of the season and lowest since that historically poor 1-0 loss at PSG in their Champions League round of 16 first leg last month. Without Karim Benzema due to injury, Real were also without answers, failing to produce on the few attacking opportunities they had while dealing with Barca's quick and efficient passing. Barca's attack is just sensational at the moment, with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang showing out. Dealing with ups and downs in the post-Lionel Messi era, the team appears to have hit its season peak in form under manager Xavi, stretching its unbeaten run to 12 games. In El Clasico on Sunday, Barca went to Real Madrid and obliterated and humiliated their rivals with a shocking 4-0 victory, simultaneously announcing their return to relevance. — FC Barcelona (@FCBarcelona)— FC Barcelona (@FCBarcelona) pic.twitter.com/BvlTdIwxFZ March 20, 2022

Barcelona had everything going for them against Real Madrid in Sunday's El Clasico matchup, providing two goals in the first half en route to the victory.

Still, they have a chance to win the Europa League and hammering Real Madrid at El Bernabeu is a great way to remind the rest of Europe that they’ll be as dominant as ever next season. After all the mockery and ridicule the club faced over their recent financial woes and struggles in the league, Barcelona are back in business and doing what they do best. He added another goal shortly after his assist to Torres with a cheeky chip to beat Thibault Courtois, further adding to the misery among the Real Madrid squad. With Karim Benzema on the sideline for Real Madrid, absent due to a calf injury, Los Blancos lacked strong linkup play in attack. Ousmane Dembele was pulling the strings in attack, supplying assists on both goals for Barca, playing a key role in the attacking third with his blazing quick pace and pin-point passing abilities. Despite Barca’s struggles in La Liga this season, they managed to silence the crowd at El Bernabeu with their stunning performance, leaving Carlo Ancelotti scratching his head and desperate for answers.

In the latest rendition of El Clasico, Real Madrid will play host to fourth-place La Liga side Barcelona at Santiago Bernabeu.

- Real Sociedad – 48 points - Real Betis – 50 points - Real Madrid – 66 points

Both teams enter this match in exceptional form. With both on four-game winning streaks in the league, Real will look to keep or build upon their 10-point ...

With both on four-game winning streaks in the league, Real will look to keep or build upon their 10-point cushion at the summit, while Barca are looking to boost their chances of a top-four finish and Champions League qualification. Pick: Real Madrid 2, Barcelona 2 (Draw +265 and Over 2.5) Barcelona: The injury list remains long with Sergi Roberto (hamstring), Samuel Umtiti (toe), Alex Balde (ankle), Ez Abde (knee ligament) still all out.

While it does not feature Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo anymore, the sheer history between these two clubs and their fans is enough to draw millions of ...

With a game as iconic as El Clasico, there are a ton of contenders, but there is no denying that Ronaldinho getting a standing ovation by the entire Bernabeu crowd as a Barcelona player needs to be first on this list, or any list for that matter. Ronaldinho scored two goals, one in the 59th and the other in the 77th minute, but the manner in which he scored the first one, waltzing past the newest Real Madrid signing, Sergio Ramos, and veteran Ivan Helguera was simply majestic. The meeting in the final of the 2014 Champions League was Atletico versus Real Madrid, while Sevilla won their first Europa League since the competition was renamed that from UEFA Cup. Still, the most exciting match of that year and one that is still in the minds of many fans of Real Madrid is the Copa Del Rey final. But that Argentinian teenager did not want to lose, so he produced a 90th-minute equalizer, representing himself and his talent to the world in majestic fashion. Angel Di Maria got Real Madrid ahead in the 11th minute, but Marc Bartra equalized in the 68th minute with a rare Barcelona header. As it is one of the biggest games in soccer, we decided to rank the three best Barcelona vs.
