Barcelona's Title Hopes Dented After El Clasico Loss to Real Madrid
La Liga Title Race Reignites After Barcelona's Loss
Barcelona's chances of winning the La Liga title suffered a major blow after they were defeated 2-1 by rivals Real Madrid in El Clasico on Sunday.
Barcelona thought they had taken the lead early in the second half when Yamals flicked a corner towards goal, but Lunin got across to shovel it out. Real Madrid took control of the game after that and went ahead through Benzema's penalty in the 83rd minute.
Barcelona could not find an equalizer and slipped to second place in the table, three points behind Real Madrid with just four games remaining.
The win puts Real Madrid on the cusp of winning their 36th La Liga title. They also face Bayern Munich in the semi-finals of the Champions League.
Meanwhile, Barcelona's title hopes are hanging by a thread. They need to win their remaining four games and hope that Real Madrid drop points in order to have any chance of winning the title.
The La Liga title race is now wide open, and it will be fascinating to see how it unfolds in the final weeks of the season.
Barcelona Kick Off Time
This LaLiga clash kicks off at the Santiago Bernabeu on Sunday April 21 at 9:00 pm.
