Robert Lewandowski scored twice and Lamine Yamal added a third goal to ruin Kylian Mbappé‘s first Clasico as Barcelona romped to a 4-0 win over Real Madrid on Saturday.
Lewandowski scored from a superb pass by Barcelona’s latest youth talent Marc Casadó in the 54th minute and headed in a second goal three minutes later to silence Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.
Those were goals 16th and 17th overall for the Poland striker this season, taking his league-best tally to 14. He also hit the post.
Yamal made it a rout in the 77th when the 17-year-old phenom rifled a shot from an angle over goalkeeper Andriy Lunin to become the youngest Clasico goal scorer. Raphinha got involved in the burgundy-and-blue party when he broke free with Madrid pressing forward and chipped Lunin in the 84th.
Mbappé had a frustrating first game against Barcelona in a white shirt.
The France star was repeatedly caught offside by Barcelona’s synchronized back four and failed to beat second-choice goalkeeper Iñaki Peña one-on-one with his team down two goals.
Hansi Flick, meanwhile, had a night to remember in the first Clasico for the German coach.
Barcelona opened a six-point lead at the top of LaLiga over second-placed Madrid after 11 rounds.
