Real Madrid took a vital step towards a new title in Spain's LaLiga. Carlo Ancelotti's team beat Barcelona 3-2 in the classic and consolidates itself at the top of the local competition with 6 games left. The goals of the match came thanks to Vinícius Júnior, Lucas Vazquez and Jude Bellingham.

How do Real Madrid vs. Barcelona?

In the run-up to this confrontation, there is a team that arrives in a clearly better state than its rival. This is the case of the Madrid team, which in midweek sealed its qualification for the semifinals of the Champions League after eliminating the current champion, Manchester City, on penalties.

At the domestic level, the progress of those led by Carlo Ancelotti could not be more auspicious. Four consecutive victories, out of a total of 24 this season, have them at the top with 78 points. With seven games remaining, the eight-point gap between them and their second team could increase to 11 and become practically impossible to overcome.

In the case of the Catalan squad, what was shaping up to be a glorious night in the Champions League suddenly turned into a nightmare with the 4-1 defeat that PSG gave them at home. The French team came back in the lead and frustrated the culés' dreams of shining again on the international level.

Regarding the local championship, the team led by Xavi Hernández also has a good streak of four consecutive wins. If he hits the mark and beats Real Madrid on the visit, he would be only five points away from chasing them, which could generate pressure in this final stretch of LaLiga.
