Kylian Mbappe is the third player in the 21st century to score a hat-trick in the Spanish El Clasico. Before the French star, only Lionel Messi (twice) and Luis Suarez had achieved this feat. The last Real Madrid player to score three goals against Barcelona in El Clasico was Ivan Zamorano in 1995.
However, Mbappe's outstanding performance, with strong support from Vinicius Junior, was not enough to secure any points for Real Madrid. The visiting team's strike partnership merely served as a backdrop for the performances of the other side, where Ferran Torres, Raphinha, and Lamine Yamal continued to showcase their brilliant form.
Mbappe scored 3 goals, but Real Madrid still lost to Barcelona.
With Real Madrid leading 2-0 after just 15 minutes, Barcelona began their comeback. In the following 30 minutes, the home side scored four goals. Torres provided three assists, Raphinha scored a brace, Lamine Yamal netted a spectacular goal, and Eric Garcia finished the remaining goal from close range.
The audience continued to witness exciting back-and-forth exchanges. First Real Madrid (Mbappe), then Barcelona (Yamal) had goals disallowed due to offside. The match became even more exciting when Mbappe narrowed the score to 3-4 in the 70th minute.
In injury time, Mbappe scored his fifth goal against Barcelona, but it was the second time the goal was disallowed for offside. A few minutes later, Fermin Lopez (Barcelona) faced the same situation. The match ended with a 4-3 victory for Barcelona.
The gap between the two teams in the La Liga standings after round 35 has widened to 7 points. Barcelona - the league leaders - are very close to winning the championship. The only scenario for Real Madrid to take the top spot in the remaining 3 rounds is if they win all 3 matches while Barcelona lose all of them.
