In a thrilling El Clasico, Real Madrid secured a dramatic last-minute victory over Barcelona, putting them 11 points clear at the La Liga summit.

Jude Bellingham emerged as the hero, smashing the ball into the net in stoppage time after Real twice battled back from a deficit at the Bernabeu.

Barcelona took the lead early on through Andres Christensen’s header, but Vinicius Jr.’s penalty just before halftime restored parity.

Fermin Lopez put Barca back in front, only for Lucas Vazquez to level the score once more.

The win puts Real in a commanding position to reclaim the La Liga title with just six matches remaining.

Barcelona started brightly, with Christensen heading home from a corner just six minutes in. However, their advantage was short-lived as a penalty awarded to Real Madrid saw Vinicius Jr. convert from the spot, bringing the scores level at halftime.

Controversy struck in the second half when Lamine Yamal’s goal was disallowed. While replays suggested the ball may have crossed the line, the absence of goalline technology in La Liga meant the video assistant referee upheld the on-field decision.
