1xbet Mongolia has prepared a review of the most memorable matches between Real Madrid and Barcelona.
Real vs Barcelona – 0-5 (February 16, 1974, La Liga)
Johan Cruyff became Barça’s leader from the first matches and led the team to its first championship title since 1960. In those years, the confrontation between Catalonia and the center, namely Madrid, was more heated than it is now. Therefore, Barcelona needed a big success that would become a symbol of greatness. That day, victory was achieved in spectacular style. Double from Asensi and goals from Cruyff, Juan Carlos, and Hugo Sotil knocked Real out in front of an astonished Madrid crowd.
Real vs Barcelona – 5-0 (January 6, 1995, La Liga)
On January 8, 1994, Real lost the El Clásico at Camp Nou with a score of 0-5. For almost a year, Madrid had saved up anger and motivation to take revenge. Barcelona, on the other hand, was not in its best form. Johan Cruyff’s dream team began falling apart, losing power and hunger for victory. In other words, they were simply not ready for the intensity of the main confrontation in Spain. Iván Zamorano scored a hat-trick, while José Amavisca and future Barcelona legend Luis Enrique each scored a goal. We should also note Michael Laudrup’s achievement — the Dane won El Clásico 5-0 with different teams one year apart. He was in the same favorable position that 1xBet Монгол clients are in!
Barcelona vs Real – 2-0 (October 2, 2000, La Liga)
It was a unique El Clásico since the game outcome remained in the background. The goals of Luis Enrique and Simão, which brought victory to Barcelona, were talked about little and as if tangentially. The center of attention was Luís Figo, who had scandalously left the Blaugranas club for Real Madrid just a few months before. The Portuguese felt all the hate of the Barcelona fans — he became a traitor to them. They threw a fried pig’s head in Figo’s direction. Luís was depressed by such a reception and played a weak match.
Barcelona vs Real – 5-0 (November 29, 2010, La Liga)
After Pep Guardiola’s successes, Madrid spent hundreds of millions of euros on star newcomers led by Cristiano Ronaldo. In the summer of 2010, José Mourinho was appointed head coach, and then he was considered one of the best managers in the world. In his first El Clásico, the Special One gave up his favorite bus and decided to play Barcelona as an equal. However, Guardiola’s team was at a higher development stage, which was proven by five unanswered goals from David Villa (double), Xavi, Pedro, and Jeffrén. Under Josep, FC Barcelona, the official partner of 1xBet, produced many brilliant performances that mesmerized the audience. But this particular one was probably the best.
Real vs Barcelona – 0-2 (April 27, 2011, Champions League semifinal)
A week before this match, Madrid had defeated Barça in the Spanish Cup final, using defensive tactics with three supporting midfielders. Real Madrid fans don’t like such victories, even in El Clásico, but at that moment in history, they were willing to tolerate it — after all, the eternal rival was too strong. José Mourinho likes the philosophy of winning at all costs, so he used his favorite mind games before the Champions League semifinal. He managed to hook Guardiola — Pep lost his temper and called the Portuguese “puto jefe.”
Real played even more defensive football than in the Cup final. For a long time, there were no chances of either goal. The scandalous removal of Pepe in the middle of the second half changed everything. Real could no longer close all the zones in the ten-man and twice missed from Messi. Leo’s second goal, scored after passing through the entire Madrid defense, forever entered the golden fund of El Clásico.
It was fun after the match as well. Mourinho denounced all and everything in the press conference, constantly repeating, “I don’t understand why?”. And that, again, is the golden fund of a great confrontation.
