On the evening of May 11, the 35th round of La Liga ushered in its fourth "national derby" of the season, with Barcelona standing at the Camp Nou facing Real Madrid. The focus battle took place in the first half, with Barcelona temporarily leading 4-2, almost killing the suspense of the La Liga championship!

Barcelona has previously defeated Real Madrid three times this season, including a 4-0 league sweep, a 5-2 victory in the Western Super League Cup and an overtime win in the King's Cup, with obvious psychological advantages. But before the game, the news broke: Barcelona striker Lewandowski and full-back Barde were unable to start due to injury, and Ferran Torres replaced the center position. Real Madrid is facing a defense crisis. Five defenders including Rudiger and Alaba are injured, and the temporary patchwork of defense has become a hidden danger.

Barcelona continues its pass control tradition, with a ball possession rate of 63%. Relying on the impact of Yamal and Rafinia on the wing road, it frequently creates murderous intent. Real Madrid focuses on a fast counterattack. The two-wing combination of Mbappe and Vinicius threatened Barcelona's defense many times, but the temporary patchwork of central defenders (Asensio + Chu Ameni) could not resist the opponent's interlude and run, conceding 4 goals in the first half to set the worst defensive record of the national derby this season.

If you win this game, Barcelona will be 7 points ahead of Real Madrid, and you can win the championship with only 3 points in the remaining three league rounds. On the other hand, if Real Madrid loses, they can basically take a shower and go to bed. Ancelotti's "last season" may end with regret.

However, Barcelona had just fought with Inter Milan in the Champions League for 120 minutes in the middle of the week, and they may not be able to hold back their physical strength in the second half. In addition, if Lewandowski and Valde can come on as a substitute, whether Mbappe can continue to carry is all in the second half.

Regardless of the final result, this six-goal offensive battle between the halftime is destined to be recorded in the history of the national derby. Now the pressure is all on Real Madrid! Should you watch your mortal enemy win the championship by stepping on your own, or will you turn the Jedi in the second half? Let’s see what we have in the comment section!
