Sin embargo, la derrota frente al Barcelona le ha quitado por un instante el mote de inalcanzable. Ambos equipos se encuentran en los cuartos de final de competiciones europeas, el Madrid en la Liga de Campeones y el Barcelona en la Europa League.

Solo hay 16 jugadores de la primera plantilla del Real Madrid que superan los 1000 minutos esta temporada.

La utilización de la plantilla por parte de Ancelotti no muestra la misma confianza. Y en la situación de Eden, la vemos en la misma línea. Para nosotros no es un jugador que hemos perdido. Empezó siendo titular en los tres primeros partidos de la temporada, pero una nueva lesión tras otra y volver a forzar con Gales le apartaron de la dinámica del equipo. Sabemos lo que significa Benzema para nosotros, pero somos el Madrid y jugando en el Bernabéu, salga con salga, creemos que tenemos un equipo competitivo”, aseguró. Por ejemplo, en los partidos que restan de temporada -nueve de Liga y, al menos, dos de Liga de Campeones- Hazard, el número ‘17’ en los planes de ‘Carletto’ debería disputar 139 minutos -y superar la barrera de los 1.000- para igualar a su par en cuanto a protagonismo -Nacho- comparando las plantillas de ambas campañas. Más distancia aún en el resto siguiendo la misma comparación: Marcelo 429, Jovic 517 e Isco 303 -casi el doble de lo que ha participado hasta ahora-. Otro que vive la misma situación contractual es Bale. Su salida es un hecho. La remontada frente al París Saint-Germain ocultó 150 minutos de la eliminatoria en los que los franceses fueron superiores y todos los problemas crecieron exponencialmente con un Barcelona que fue netamente superior. Ancelotti apostó por él en momentos esporádicos de la temporada, pero entraba y salía del once titular sin mayor motivo. Y hace justo una semana se quedó fuera de la convocatoria. Un ostracismo para Hazard que invita a pensar, ahora más que nunca, que su futuro está fuera de Madrid. Cinco cambios permite la normativa y cinco son los futbolistas que suelen aparecer. Uno de ellos fue la falta de soluciones efectivas desde el banquillo.

By Fernando Kallas MADRID (Reuters) - Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored twice as a rejuvenated Barcelona gave a football masterclass to inflict a humil...

“If we still have a small chance to make a run for the title, we will fight until the end. “We didn’t expect this result, but our objetive was achieved. With Ousmane Dembele and Ferran Torres exposing Real’s defensive frailty on the flanks, Barca opened the scoring in the 29th minute with an Aubameyang header from a Dembele cross.

Numerous as they were, it wasn't just the mistakes themselves that made Real Madrid's El Clasico performance so putrid. It was the sheer mental collapse ...

Not satisfied with what was clear and blatant simulation, the Brazilian then wagged his finger at Gerard Pique and was in the referee's ear for literal minutes. And worst of all, Vinicius Jr., who should have to apologize for his calamitous dive in the first half. The fourth Barcelona goal was a tragic display of mental lapse, as the entire Madrid defense stopped as the offside flag went up, seeing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang clean through, dinking the ball into the back of the net over a helpless Thibaut Courtois. VAR overturned the offside decision and the goal was given, to intense protest by Madrid players who switched off as soon as the flag went up. In Benzema's place, Luka Modric was deployed as a false nine, a tactical head-scratcher from Ancelotti. As a result, the Croatian — a Ballon d'Or winner and World Cup finalist — looked uncharacteristically lost. To compound the issue, Alaba immediately turned around and appeared to search for someone else to blame. At their home ground, it was if Real Madrid players never got off the bus.

Barcelona mostró personalidad y saltó a la cancha del Bernabéu con la indicación de controlar la pelota a como diera lugar, -con guiño a Josep Guardiola ...

La primera línea del Real Madrid quedó a deber en su totalidad, con distintos grados de culpa en cada uno de los cuatro futbolistas titulares responsables. Dani Carvajal brindó un primer lapso lleno de inseguridades y fue constantemente exhibido sobre la banda derecha por un Ferran Torres con velocidad, pero incapaz de definir situaciones claras a puerta. La displisencia por parte de una buena parte de los atacantes del Madrid provocó que el técnico blanco colocara a Federico Valverde y Luka Modric más adelantados a su zona habitual, en un experimento por probarlos como delanteros, y tocó los nervios del medio campo del equipo, una zona en la que generalmente no hay complicaciones.

While Real’s defense is terrific, Barcelona with Aubameyang has taken its offense to the next level. On top of an electric attack, Barcelona has allowed just 29 goals in 27 matches this season. The last three El Clasico matchups in league play have all gone over 2.5 goals. Along with being at home, where it has 10 wins and 4 draws without a single loss, Real should have the edge. Its dominant defense has conceded just 21 goals in 28 games. Real Madrid (20 wins, 2 losses, 6 draws) welcomes Barcelona (14-4-9) for El Clasico Sunday.

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.

El Real Madrid suma cinco victorias consecutivas sobre el Barcelona y, de vencer a los blaugranas, se colocaría a una de igualar la racha más ganadora.

1. Cristiano Ronaldo · 2. Alfredo Di Stefano · 3. Zinedine Zidane · 4. Sergio Ramos · 5. Iker Casillas · 6. Paco Gento · 7. Raul · 8. Santiago Bernabeu.

He was one of the first true Galacticos: in every sense of the title. His Ballon d'Or was testament to the sheer beauty of what he do with a ball. As a coach, he had an innate sense of balance in a team: as a player, he was a moustachioed midfielder who learned the importance of organisation. The German is one of the less flashy buys of the past decade but one of the most important, offering Real consistency, class and a metronomic presence in midfield. A solid presence who simply couldn't be beaten in the air, he was a leader in defence who allowed the Hollywood names to flourish at the top of the pitch. Despised by a section of the Real Madrid fans, Gareth Bale is responsible at least in part for two Champions League titles that he scored in finals to win. The Argentinian midfielder was nicknamed 'the Prince' and soon became Real royalty with displays of grace and deftness in a white shirt. In over 400 appearances, Ignacio Zoco was the gearbox of the Real Madrid midfield, dictating the flow of a match and driving forward with confidence. A winger with a wicked lick of pace and an eye for the spectacular, Amancio was a member of the "Ye-Ye" side that made multiple European finals with its devastating strike force, inspiring so many to play with his reckless abandon. One of the greatest wing-backs of a generation, Rafael Gordillo moved from Real Betis to Real Madrid and won everything in Spanish football. With beautiful assists and the ability to turn games, he became one of the fans' most-loved stars in the noughties. The dependable midfield general for five European Cups on the trot, Jose Zarrraga was the Casemiro of his day with tough tackling and a steely leadership.

Madrid also lead Barca in terms of European Cup/Champions Leagues - by 13 trophies to five. But Barca were vastly superior on the day and cruised to a 4-0 win, halting a run of five consecutive defeats to Real in the process.

But Tottenham's 3-1 win over West Ham is huge, because it opens up a gap and because it breaks the weird W-L-W-L roller coaster they were on (they beat Brighton in midweek) while offering glimpses of where Antonio Conte wants them to be. A top-four finish is improbable, what you settle for is a sense that they're moving in the right direction, and this win will help tremendously in that regard. Rather than complaining that they're not a racist club and that Cagliari is not a racist city (which they've done in the past), they have already pledged to identify and ban the offending supporters. Beyond that, Juve looked brighter against Salernitana than they did in recent outings (perhaps the level of the opposition had something to do with it) and remain on track for a top-four finish. In early February, they were top of the league with a four-point margin and a game in hand. Put another way, you can stink it up, but as long as you get the better of the crosstown rivals, you're good in the eyes of the local media and the supporters. It could have cost Liverpool -- Forest had their chances and proved to be a tough out -- but it was the right decision from Klopp, and he was vindicated. And while the defeat in itself is irrelevant -- they somehow still have a 12-point lead with nine games to go and just as important, the sides behind them are either poor or inconsistent -- the damage being done to morale and image is not. Maybe the idea was to bolster the middle of the park, keep the ball and release Rodrygo and Vinicius on the counter. You can look at the individual game and praise Barcelona (and we will), but the broader context and trend is more significant (and remarkable). Yes, Barca benefited from four arrivals in January, but let's remind ourselves who they are and where they were then arrived. But the remarkable part isn't Barcelona's domination of their eternal rivals (we'll get to that): It's the way Xavi achieved the footballing equivalent of getting an aircraft carrier to do a U-turn in a swimming pool. Exactly four months after his first game in charge -- a 1-0 derby win over Espanyol -- Xavi led his Barcelona side to a 4-0 Clasico victory over Real Madrid of the sort they'll be talking about for years to come.

Why are Madrid & Barcelona in different El Clasico kits?

The decision to wear the third kit is reportedly at the request of club president Joan Laporta. The kit was designed by Yohji Yamamoto, a long time collaborator with Adidas, who has a history working on Real Madrid kits. Real Madrid have released a kit to commemorate the club's 120th anniversary. A key aspect of the storied heritage of the match is the kits that both sides sport. For all the hype, the rivalry rarely fails to deliver. The Manchester Derby might match the global size of the audience.

Sin Karim Benzema, Carlo Ancelotti debió modificar para encarar al Barcelona, que con Xavi Hernández apuesta por tres atacantes de arranque.

Aubameyang, en dos ocasiones, Araújo y Torres marcaron para el 4 a 0. El equipo de Ancelotti sufrió la ausencia de Benzema y cayó ante su gente.

En el siguiente ataque, hubo devolución de gentilezas porque Torres escapó por izquierda y asistió al delantero gabonés, que se lapicó a Courtois en el 4-0. Fue una gran jugada colectiva del Barcelona que Aubameyang completó con un taco brillante en la puerta del área para que Ferrán Torres quedase mano a mano y defina con la cara interna de su pie derecho para el 3-0. Fue en un tiro de esquina ejecutado por Dembélé el que Ronald Araújo conectó de cabeza al saltar más que su marca para establecer el 2-0 antes del final de la primer mitad.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored twice as Xavi's resurgent Barcelona hammered the leaders Real Madrid at the Bernabeu.

Thibaut Courtois conceded four goals as Barcelona won Sunday's Clasico 4-0 but the keeper topscored in our Real Madrid player ratings with 7.5/10.

Struggled to fill the void left by Benzema's absence but put in plenty of effort in the first half. Involved in two of Real's brightest moments. His ninth Clasico so far. Was exposed a little at times as Toni Kroos and Luka Modric pushed forward, but the Brazilian did his role reasonably well. Subbed off for Lucas Vazquez just after the hour-mark. Almost at fault for another goal late on but Ousmane Dembele missed.

Barcelona no ha ganado en los últimos seis duelos contra Real Madrid, con registro de cinco derrotas y un empate.

Y es que, el 24 de octubre de 2021, el Madrid volvía a asaltar el Camp Nou (1-2). Y Agüero, en la última jugada del descuento, marcaba el gol del honor para el conjunto local. Xavi tiene este domingo la oportunidad de acabar con la racha de seis partidos sin conocer la victoria ante el eterno rival. En la media hora final, el marcador ya no se movió. Su Barcelona lograba igualar el marcador en dos ocasiones (De Jong respondía en el minuto 41 al tanto marcado por Vinicius en el 25; y Ansu Fati igualaba de nuevo en el 83, tras el gol marcado por Benzema en el 72). Pero en la prórroga, Valverde hacía el 2-3. Y es que los azulgranas no han vuelto a celebrar una victoria ante el Real Madrid desde que lo derrotara a domicilio en LaLiga, el 2 de marzo de 2019, con un solitario gol del croata Ivan Rakitic (0-1). Entonces, Ernesto Valverde aún estaba en el banquillo.

Por su parte, Xavi sorprende en su primer once como técnico en un clásico en el Santiago Bernabéu con Araujo en lugar del experimentado Dani Alves, quien sufrió en la Supercopa al tener que medirse con su compatriota Vinicius Junior, y con el galo Ousmane Dembélé ganándole la partida al español Adama Traoré. Modifica su sistema el Real Madrid en el clásico, añadiendo un cuarto centrocampista y renunciando a un delantero del habitual tridente con el que jugaba Ancelotti. El técnico italiano cubre la baja del francés Mendy con Nacho, como hizo ante el PSG en la Champions League, y sorprende con Fede Valverde por Benzema, dejando el ataque para la velocidad de los brasileños Vinícius Junior y Rodrygo Goes. Carlo Ancelotti, técnico del Real Madrid, fortalece el centro del campo de su equipo de inicio en el clásico apostando por el uruguayo Fede Valverde como sustituto del lesionado Karim Benzema, mientras que Nacho Fernández gana la partida a Marcelo en el lateral izquierdo.

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.

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.

Real Madrid got everything wrong -- and Ancelotti might be in trouble for it -- but take nothing away from Xavi and Barcelona for Sunday's triumph.

But his absence neither needed Madrid's Italian manager to invent a 4-1-4-1 formation that the team weren't in a position to impose, nor to suddenly risk a 3-5-2 formation when the slightest error at the back would be fatal. Nor should Benzema's absence have caused the vast majority of Madrid's players to turn in low-grade, lazy, haphazard, listless performances in a Clasico. The idea of going to three at the back, allowing an already utterly rampant Barcelona attack to go one-on-one against an improvised line of Nacho, Militao and Alaba was rampant folly. Eduardo Camavinga, on at half-time, copied his elders and betters by, within a couple of minutes, gifting the ball away cheaply then being robbed, easily, by Frenkie De Jong to create the third goal. Before Araujo effectively kills the game with his header for 2-0, you just need to look at the schoolboy state (sorry to schoolboys everywhere) of Madrid's preparation for the killer corner. Ancelotti then wanted the latter pair -- two brilliant, ruthless men -- to use Barcelona's cheaply lost possession to smash them with a series of quick passes in the last third of the pitch while Xavi's team were caught unawares. The last time a Madrid side played with this lethargy, lack of attention to detail or lack of competitive spirit was in Paris a month ago. But there was an immediate catastrophe, and one neither Ancelotti nor the absent Benzema have anything to do with. Not only didn't that work, but Madrid's press was largely made to look like what it is, a recent concept and a weekend-DIY project rather than expert and industrially strong. So, were Ancelotti to finish this season with two trophies and, say, a Champions League semifinal, he should be awarded a laurel wreath for his head and called a hero. I thought then, and still think now, that Ancelotti received the equivalent of a yellow card from his employer than night. (It bears noting Fabio Capello was sacked in 2009 after winning the league, while Jupp Heynckes met a similar fate in 1998 after winning the Champions League.)

Bernabéu fue delantero del Real Madrid y más tarde se convirtió en uno de los más grandes directores deportivos de todos los tiempos.

Con eso, Santiago sigue siendo parte de un selecto club de futbolistas que anotaron dos hat-tricks en el clásico más grande del mundo. Luego vino otro título más, en 1965/66. Fueron las seis primeras copas de los blancos, que ahora suman 13. El delantero marcó dos hat-tricks ante los blaugranas, ambos en la Copa del Rey de 1916. Nacido en la ciudad de Albacete, Santiago se trasladó a Madrid siendo muy joven. La última vez que se disputó el clásico en esa cancha fue el 1 de marzo de 2020, cuando los Merengues ganaron 2-0 con actuación del brasileño Vinicius Jr. Por aquel entonces aún no se había creado el Campeonato de España (que recién arrancó en 1929), por lo que Bernabéu no tuvo la oportunidad de ser campeón de la liga nacional.
