A fifth goal from Barcelona from Fermin Lopez during stoppage time was canceled due to a foul from Gavi in the build-up.

After today’s Clasico win, Barcelona are seven points clear of Real Madrid in the LaLiga table. The Catalans need two more points to officially win the league. They will next face Espanyol on May 15. A win in the game will guarantee the league title.

Yamal has five G/A (three goals, two assists) in four appearances against Real Madrid across competitions this season. He has either scored or assisted in every game against Los Blancos in this campaign. Two of these outings were finals, as the Catalans beat their rivals 5-2 to win the Supercopa de España and 3-2 to win the Copa del Rey.
