Barcelona Edges Closer to La Liga Title After Dramatic Win Over Real Madrid

Barcelona, led by Hansi Flick, moved a step closer to securing the La Liga 2024/25 title after an electrifying 4-3 victory over Real Madrid, according to Marca.

The latest El Clasico at Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys was filled with drama, as Barcelona’s young squad — averaging under 22 years old — showed immense resilience by overturning a 2-0 deficit.

Youth and experience blend perfectly

Key performances came from rising stars Pau Cubarsí, Pedri, and Lamine Yamal, who thrived under the spotlight. Raphinha continued his stellar form this season, reinforcing his status as a potential Ballon d’Or candidate.

Flick has struck the right balance between youth and experience, incorporating academy products from La Masia with veteran leaders such as Robert Lewandowski and Wojciech Szczęsny.

Near-perfect debut season for Hansi Flick

While Barcelona fell short of a treble — being eliminated in the Champions League semifinals by Inter Milan — the season remains a massive success considering the squad’s youth and development.

Flick’s influence is evident. His philosophy of high work rate, tactical discipline, and relentless pressure has reshaped the team’s identity. Barcelona now plays with unmatched energy and fight — a trademark that distinguishes them from other La Liga teams.
