VAR blew away a goal from Real Madrid and canceled a penalty, but Barcelona still lost!
6:55am, 28 October 2025【Football】
This national derby, which was jokingly called "Barcelona with a broken team vs. avenging Real Madrid," ended up being completely rewritten by a controversial penalty and a red card.

Before the game even started, the smell of gunpowder wafted in from the outside. Barcelona's Yamal said in an interview before the game that "Real Madrid loves to steal and complain", which directly ignited the boos at the Bernabeu.
This kid is only 17 years old, and he is not shy at all when he speaks harshly. Unfortunately, football has to rely on its feet to speak for itself.

Real Madrid were obviously holding back their energy after the opening, especially Vinicius on the left, who rushed into the Barcelona penalty area after taking the ball. The two central defenders, Cubasi and Eric Garcia, were simply targeted by Real Madrid because of their slow turning weaknesses.
Sure enough, in the 13th minute, Mbappe hit the ball with a world-wide kick. The VAR replay showed that his shoulder was a little offside. It was a hair-raising penalty.
However, Real Madrid did not panic. After 9 minutes, Bellingham made a scalpel pass, and Mbappe successfully scored a single goal after turning offside. This time the goal was so clean that the Barcelona defender did not even have time to pull.

Barcelona's equalizer was a bit dramatic. Real Madrid youngster Guler was intercepted in the backcourt, and Fermin scored with a shot.
As soon as this goal was scored, Barcelona fans' hopes were ignited, but Bellingham poured cold water on them: in the 58th minute, his volley from outside the penalty area was cold and hard, and went directly into the dead center of the goal.
Bellingham is really cheating this season, catching passes and shooting, and incidentally becoming the youngest Real Madrid player to pass and shoot in El Clasico in the 21st century.

But what really made the game get out of control was the penalty kick incident in the 70th minute. Vinicius made a point, but Var watched it for a long time and then canceled it. As a result, Mbappe's penalty kick was saved by Barcelona goalkeeper Szczesny. The veteran saved 9 times in the game. If it weren't for him, Barcelona might have lost even more ugly.
The most bloody thing was in stoppage time. Pedri was sent off with a straight red card for pushing the referee. Players from both sides got into a melee. Carvajal and Yamal got in the way, and Courtois also rushed into the field to start a fight. The scene was completely chaotic.

Speaking of which, Barcelona is really unlucky. Seven of its main players, Lewandowski, Rafinha, and Ter Stegen, are injured. Even coach Flick is unable to direct on the spot due to a red card suspension.
The offense and defense on the left side were basically paralyzed. Yamal was locked up by two players from Real Madrid. He had zero shots on target and conceded the ball 21 times.
Real Madrid's new coach Alonso, on the other hand, dared to play a high-position press in his first appearance in Derby. Bellingham and Camavinga created a strangulation net on the right, cutting up the passing routes in Barcelona's midfield.

The episode where Vinicius went back to the locker room with a bad face when he was replaced after the game was diluted by this victory. After all, Real Madrid ended Barcelona's four-game winning streak against it and moved 5 points clear in the standings. These three points were a relief.

Clásico is never just a contest of skills and tactics, but also a touchstone of mentality and resilience.
Real Madrid proved with a strangled victory that the personal ability of a star can determine the upper limit, but the team's discipline and desire to win are the foundation for winning a tough battle.

Although Barcelona lost, the attitude of the remaining team fighting until the last minute is worthy of respect, but young people will eventually have to experience setbacks to grow. Whether it is Yamal's quick tongue or Pedri's impulsive red card, they are all part of the tuition fee.
Respect on the football field ultimately depends on your feet, not your mouth.
