On April 21, 2024, Real Madrid faced FC Barcelona in the LaLiga EA Sports match at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu in Madrid, Spain. The Catalans had a line-up similar to the one that suffered a heavy defeat against Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Champions League, with the addition of Andreas Christensen, who returned after a European suspension.
Their attacking trio consisted of Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha, and Lamine Yamal. Despite Barcelona taking the lead early in the game through Christensen’s header, Real Madrid leveled with a penalty converted by Vinicius Junior.
The match continued with both teams having opportunities, but Barcelona suffered a setback when Frenkie de Jong had to be substituted due to an injury. Barcelona regained the lead with a goal by Fermin Lopez, only to be equalized by Vazquez’s strike for Real Madrid shortly after.
In the closing stages, Jude Bellingham secured the victory for Real Madrid with a goal in added time, extending their lead at the top of the table to 11 points ahead of Barcelona.
