Real Madrid loses a spectacular game at FC Barcelona and now has little chance of the championship. The press sharply criticizes the royal and pays homage to the victorious Catalan.
After an absolute football spectacle, FC Barcelona is only theoretical to take the championship in the Spanish La Liga. After the 4: 3 success in the Clásico, Barca is seven points ahead of Real, with three games to be played.
If the Catalans did not collapse completely unexpectedly, Hansi Flick could crown his first season in Barcelona with his third title – the Copa del Rey and the Supercup had already won the Catalans by final victories against the Madrilenes.

For Real Madrid, however, the new defeat against the rivals was the next low in a weak season. The royal ones will go as good as Titellos from the 2024/25 season.
Accordingly, the international press is also critical, which briskly disassembles the royal after the disappointment. Barca, however, is celebrated.
Sport1 has summarized the best international press voices as a spectacular Clásico.
