A day ago
Barça wins the Clásico, their fourth of four, and conquers more than half of the league title, putting them 7 points ahead of Real Madrid with three games remaining. All this happened after they went down by 2 early goals in the first half Mbaape before Barca responded from a header of Eric Garcia and a spectacular from teenage sensation Lamie Yamal. Barca went on to score to more goals from Raphinha to make it four. The first half ended 4-2 in favour of the Catalonians. Mbaape completed his hat trick on the 70th minute but it wasn't enough to give Madrid all the 3 points. The man of the match was awarded to Raphinha because of the win for the club and his performance. The final score line was 4-3.

fails, neglects or refuses to file a Statement of Defence within the stipulated time.
