Barcelona overcame a two-goal deficit to claim a dramatic 4-3 victory against Real Madrid in a crucial La Liga match, edging closer to the title. Raphinha was pivotal in the match, scoring twice, while Lamine Yamal and Eric Garcia each added a goal to secure the win, extending Barcelona's lead to seven points at the top of the standings with just three games remaining, according to Channel News Asia, Reuters, and Al Jazeera.

Real Madrid initially took control of the match with two quick goals from Kylian Mbappé, who scored in the 5th and 14th minutes. However, Barcelona responded with four goals in the first half alone, with Eric Garcia, Lamine Yamal, and Raphinha finding the net in quick succession. This comeback showcased Barcelona's resilience despite a challenging start, as noted by Dawn and Africa News.

Despite Mbappé completing his hat-trick in the 70th minute to reduce the deficit, Real Madrid could not mount a successful comeback. This defeat leaves defending champions Madrid on the brink of finishing the season without silverware and creates mounting pressure on coach Carlo Ancelotti, who is reportedly facing scrutiny regarding his future, according to Africa News and Al Jazeera.

Barcelona's victory not only solidifies their position at the top of La Liga but also marks their fourth consecutive win over Real Madrid in various competitions this season, signalling their dominance this year. With the possibility of clinching the title as early as Wednesday, the Catalans look to maintain their momentum, according to Channel News Asia and Reuters.
