In the 10th round of the new La Liga season, a Spanish derby was staged. In the end, after a wonderful and fierce battle, Real Madrid defeated Barcelona 2-1, ending the embarrassing record of losing 4 consecutive games against Barcelona. However, this 2:1 victory also cost both sides a heavy price.

The game reached its climax in the 22nd minute. Bellingham split the defense with a precise direct pass. Mbappe succeeded in countering offside and scored with a single shot, igniting the atmosphere at home for Real Madrid. Not to be outdone, Barcelona quickly equalized the score. 16 minutes later, Manchester United's old player Rashford returned in the penalty area, and Fermin Lopez followed up with a push shot to equalize the score. The transition between offense and defense showed the rich heritage.

Before halftime, Vinicius made a breakthrough pass from the left, and Militao made a header and assisted Bellingham to push into the empty goal, 2:1! Real Madrid once again exceeded the score. In the second half of the game, although the two sides fought fiercely, neither side achieved anything. Real Madrid won a valuable penalty kick. Unfortunately, Mbappe's penalty kick was saved by Szczesny and failed to expand its advantage. In the end, Real Madrid held on to a 2:1 victory, ending their previous 4-game winless streak against Barcelona.

In addition to the outcome, the big conflict at the end of the game completely filled the air with gunpowder. In the 90th and 10th minutes, Pedri overturned the ball and knocked down Joan Armene. He was sent off with two yellows and became the trigger of the conflict. After the final whistle, a confrontation broke out near the bench. The replaced Vinicius, Real Madrid goalkeeper Lunin, and Barcelona's Ferran Torres, Balde and others got into a dispute. Later, more players and staff were involved in the melee, and the police eventually needed to intervene to calm the situation.

The aftermath of the conflict continued to ferment near the midfield: Real Madrid captain Carvajal accused Yamal of "talking too much" with gestures and refused Rashford's handshake; when Yamal tried to pursue his explanation, he was blocked by Camavinga and Courtois, and Vinicius stepped forward again to repeat the confrontation with gestures. The turmoil eventually led to Lu Ning leaving the field in red and six other players receiving yellow cards. This undoubtedly dug a big hole for the subsequent games between the two sides.

Regarding the conflict, the coaches of both sides have very different attitudes. Real Madrid coach Alonso said bluntly that it was "completely normal" and believed that this was the atmosphere that a national derby should have and there was no need to over-interpret it. Barcelona's interim coach Sorg said that he "didn't realize what happened" and called on the outside world to focus on the game itself.

From the offensive connection between Bellingham and Mbappe, to Szczesny’s ​​penalty kick, to the emotional outburst before the end, this El Clasico is destined to be an unforgettable and passionate battle. But it also brought relatively large losses to both Real Madrid and Barcelona.
