Barcelona stopped Real Madrid's 42-match unbeaten run with a stunning 4-0 win in the La Liga fixture at Santiago Bernabeu on Saturday. Robert Lewandowski scored twice in the second half followed by strikes from Lamine Yamal and Raphina to defend Barcelona's historic 43-match unbeaten record. A win further cemented the Catalan giants' 6-point lead at the top of the La Liga points table this season.
Lewandowski extended his goalscoring record to 14 goals in 11 league games this campaign while youngster Yamal created a new El Clasico record with his goal. At the age of 17 years and 106 days, Yamal became the youngest goalscorer in El Clasico history. Yamal broke the 77-year-old record when Barcelona's Alfonso Navarro scored an El Clasico goal at the age of 17 years and 356 days.
Barcelona's Ansu Fati and Gavi came very close to breaking Navarro's long-standing record in the last couple of years. Lamine has already scored six goals and provided five assists in La Liga this season after clinching the Player of the Tournament award in the Euro 2024. More to follow.
