Real Madrid emerged victorious in a pulsating El Clásico, beating Barcelona 2–1 at the Santiago Bernabéu in a clash that had everything — goals, drama, VAR controversy, and even a dugout scuffle deep into stoppage time.

Early exchanges set tone for drama

From the outset, the intensity was unmistakable. Real thought they had a penalty when Vinicius Jr went down under contact, but VAR overturned the call after a long check.

Moments later, the hosts did take the lead. Jude Bellingham slipped a perfectly weighted ball through for Kylian Mbappé, who calmly slotted home past Szczesny in the 23rd minute. Barcelona equalised soon after through Fermin López, finishing off a sharp move created by Pedri and Rashford.

Real struck again before the break — Bellingham was quickest to react to a loose ball and fired home from close range to restore Madrid’s advantage. Two further goals were later disallowed for offside, keeping the game delicately poised at 2–1 by halftime.

Szczesny keeps Barca alive

Real’s dominance continued after the interval. They earned a penalty after Eric Garcia’s handball, but Szczesny guessed right, diving to his left to deny Mbappé and keep Barcelona in contention.

Vinicius and Bellingham both came close again, while Brahim Díaz injected energy down the right flank after replacing Güler. On the other side, Xavi shuffled his pack — introducing Araujo, Casado, and Bardghji — but the visitors still struggled to break through Madrid’s organised defence.

Tense finale and Pedri’s red

As nine minutes of stoppage time were signalled, Barcelona pushed bodies forward. Courtois pulled off a vital save from Pedri, before Real countered with precision through Ceballos and Rodrygo, whose curling free-kick forced another acrobatic stop from Szczesny.

Then came the decisive flashpoint. Fermin López received a yellow after a scuffle with Ceballos, and Pedri — already booked — lunged recklessly at Tchouaméni near halfway. The referee showed a second yellow, sending him off in the 90+10th minute.

Dugout drama and full-time scenes

Tensions boiled over immediately after the red card. Players, substitutes, and staff from both dugouts clashed on the sidelines, prompting the referee to issue a flurry of bookings in added time. Order was eventually restored, and seconds later, the whistle blew to end one of the most dramatic Clásicos in recent memory.
