Barcelona legend Lionel Messi surely tuned in to Barcelona’s commanding performance over Real Madrid in the El Clasico on Sunday. After the match, the Argentine posted a rare celebratory message on Instagram to his old club.
“Qué hermosa victoria!!” wrote Messi. What a beautiful victory for Barca fans, indeed.
Robert Lewandowski, Lamine Yamal, and Raphinha made key contributions, each finding the back of the net in the 4-0 victory. The win also secured Hansi Flick’s second La Liga Manager of the Month award.
Barcelona’s victory put them six points ahead of their rivals in the La Liga standings. Incredibly, it was also Los Blancos’ first La Liga loss in 43 matches. There’s a palpable shift for the best team in Europe, with Barcelona’s youngsters reviving years lost since Messi’s dismissal in the summer of 2021.
