Barcelona has made history by defeating Real Madrid in all four El Clasico matches this season. The latest was a thrilling 4-3 win at the Estadi Olimpic Lluís Companys on Sunday. With this, Barca are now just a few points away from lifting the LaLiga trophy. No other team has ever beaten Real Madrid four times in one season with so many goals. The total tally? A record-breaking 16 goals across the four clashes.

Barca coach Hansi Flick’s dream start against Real Madrid

Not even Barcelona’s German coach Hansi Flick, has had a dream run in his debut season, especially in El Clasico games.That result was a commanding 4-0 win at the Santiago Bernabeu — Real Madrid’s stadium — in October for Barcelona’s first official victory over Real Madrid this season. The second came in January's Spanish Super Cup final in Saudi Arabia, which Barca won 5-2 despite playing with ten men for more than half an hour. It was also Hansi Flick’s first trophy with the club.
In April, Barcelona won the Copa del Rey final 3-2 in extra time with a late goal from Koundé. And on Sunday, in front of over 50,000 fans in Montjuïc, they sealed a 4-3 win that puts them close to the LaLiga title.All four Clasico wins under Flick had something special: high scoring, attacking football, and a never-give-up attitude. Scoring 16 goals against Real Madrid in one season is a new record. Even the famous Barcelona team of 2011-12 didn't manage this.

Real Madrid’s defense crumbles under pressure

As expected, Real Madrid started well but again failed to protect the lead. Kylian Mbappé scored twice early on Sunday, but Barca were soon on equal footing at 4-2 by the break.Madrid were missing their prime defenders, such as Carvajal, Militao, and Rüdiger. Their replacements, especially Lucas Vázquez and Fran García, struggled to stop Barca’s fast attacks. One major mistake from Vazquez led to Raphinha’s second goal right before the break.Kylian Mbappe did complete his hat-trick at the later stages of the game, but it wasn’t enough. This was the third time this season that Barcelona scored four goals in a short time against Madrid. Madrid now trails Barcelona by seven points in the LaLiga table with only three matches left. Their chances of winning the title are almost over.Also Read: Szczesny and Lewandowski families spotted celebrating Barcelona's ElClasico win
