Barcelona moved closer to securing the LaLiga title with a thrilling 4-3 victory over Real Madrid in an intense Clasico at the Montjuic Olympic Stadium on Sunday.

Raphinha scored twice as Barcelona came from two goals down to triumph.

The win extended Barcelona‍‍`s lead to seven points over second-place Real Madrid, and with three matches remaining, they need just one more victory to claim their 28th Spanish league title.

Real Madrid started strongly, with Kylian Mbappe netting twice to give them a 2-0 lead. But Barcelona quickly responded, with Eric Garcia, Lamine Yamal, and Raphinha scoring in quick succession to turn the match around.

Raphinha added another before halftime after a mistake by Lucas Vazquez. Although Mbappe completed his hat-trick in the 70th minute, Real Madrid couldn‍‍`t recover, leaving them facing the prospect of a season without any major trophies.
