Real Madrid surges 11 points ahead in LaLiga with victory against Barcelona

Real Madrid has widened the gap to 11 points between themselves and Barcelona following a dramatic 3-2 victory over their rivals in an El Clasico showdown on Sunday night.

The match saw Andreas Christensen break the deadlock with a commanding header, swiftly countered by Vinicius Jr’s equalizer from the penalty spot. Fermin Lopez then restored Barcelona’s lead, only for Lucas Vazquez to level the score at 2-2 with an unmarked finish at the back post.

In a thrilling finale, Jude Bellingham secured the win with a decisive strike in added time, propelling Carlo Ancelotti’s side closer to clinching the LaLiga title.

Real Madrid’s pursuit of glory extends beyond domestic competition, with the team poised for a potential double this season as they prepare to face Bayern Munich in the Champions League.
