Real Madrid left Camp Nou with a 2-1 win over Barcelona in a La Liga derby on Sunday afternoon to push Real Madrid back to the top of the table.
Ronald Koeman's side got off to a good start, showing strength in midfield that overwhelmed the regular command of the visiting team, and 25 minutes later, Depay broke through with the ball and crossed the middle, Fati missed the ball to Dest, who was in a better position just in front of the goal, and Dester pushed past the goal from close range, and they should have found themselves one goal ahead.
Soon after, the international regretted his mistake and Ancelotti's side broke the deadlock with a deadly counter-attack in the 32nd minute. David Alaba scored with a powerful shot before receiving a pass from Rodrigo and eventually overtaking Mark Andre Ttegan to give Real Madrid a 1-0 lead. Both sides showed good coordination after half-time, and both sides saw a period of control and opportunities to be wasted. In the end, it was another counter-attack that locked in the score in the 94th minute.
Under pressure from Barcelona, Real Madrid broke forward and Marco Asensio saw Stegen's brilliant save. The ensuing rally was swept into the empty net by Lucas Vazquez, and the score came to 2-0, essentially locking in the win.
However, the drama is not over. Three minutes later, the hosts scored a goal of their own. Dester's cross from the right was picked up by Sergio Aguero, who scored his first goal in the Barcelona match. However, it was already too late for Koeman's players, as the referee blew the whistle in full immediately after the game.
The result marked the fifth consecutive victory for Real Madrid over their famous rivals. Real Madrid then returned to the top of the la Liga table, while Barcelona remained eighth after nine games.
