Barcelona's 4-3 victory against Real Madrid

Despite Kylian Mbappé's hat-trick in an enthralling "clasico," Barcelona's 4-3 victory against Real Madrid on Sunday was a significant step towards winning the Spanish league title. With three games left, Barcelona now leads its second-place competitor by seven points. Lamine Yamal and Eric García each added a goal, while Raphinha scored twice for Barcelona, which needs two more points to win the league for the 28th time. Mbappé's goals in the fifth and fourteenth minutes put the Catalan team behind 2-0 at Montjuic Stadium. In a spectacular comeback, the home team tied the game just over the half-hour mark and led 4-2 at the break.

Madrid's prospects of successfully defending their championship were dealt a possibly fatal blow when Mbappé completed his hat trick in the 70th minute.
