Barcelona 4-3 Real Madrid result – Raphinha scores two of four Barca goals, Kylian Mbappe hat-trick in reply counts for nothing in Clasico classic

Barcelona look set to win their 28th La Liga title following a 4-3 win in El Clasico against title rivals Real Madrid.

A first-half onslaught of goals, including a Raphinha brace, were enough for Hansi Flick’s side to move seven points above Los Blancos with three games remaining.

Real Madrid knew that they needed to win at Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys to stand any chance of claiming the title.

Carlo Ancelotti’s side started superbly with Kylian Mbappe first netting from the penalty spot and then completing his brace inside 14 minutes.

However, defensive injuries have plagued Los Blancos this season and once Eric Garcia headed a goal back the floodgates opened.

Lamine Yamal steered his side level before Raphinha pounded on the defence twice to make it 4-2 at half-time.

Despite Barcelona looking in control, Mbappe struck on the break to complete his hat-trick and pull the visitors back into the match.

However, it was not to be and Fermin Lopez was only denied a fifth Barcelona goal at the death by VAR.

Barcelona could seal the Liga title at Espanyol on Thursday night, or if Real Madrid are beaten by Mallorca the previous evening.

Hansi Flick will be very happy with his side’s record this season over league rivals Real Madrid.

An unbeaten record of four wins in high-scoring matches has seen his stars tear through their rivals' defence

Teenage sensation Lamine Yamal said that it was a "very special moment" to beat Real Madrid 4-3.

He told La Liga TV: "It was a very important game, obviously.

"We wanted to bounce back in front of our own fans after what happened in the Champions League.

"We had really clear opportunities to extend our lead. It’s a very special moment, I can’t wait to play in the Nou Camp. In the meantime it’s great to play here.

 "We’ll try again in the Champions League next season, but we just wanted to win this game to move closer to the title."

Barca need just two points from their remaining three games to win La Liga.

The home side have completed a memorable win over their rivals. It is a fourth El Clasico win of the season for Barcelona.

Real Madrid look likely to finish without a trophy before heading to the Club World Cup this summer.

That is full-time and the celebrations continue despite that fifth goal being cancelled out. Barcelona win 4-3.
