Real Madrid has won the first “clásico” of the season to take the lead of the Spanish league and give Barcelona another painful blow four days after the Catalan club’s hopes of advancing in the Champions League all but ended.
Sunday's defeat was another frustrating setback for Barcelona after it was held 3-3 by Inter Milan at home on Wednesday to be virtually eliminated from the Champions League with two rounds left in its group stage.
Lewandowski, the league's leading scorer, wasted his greatest chance in the first half, missing high from near the goal line. Benzema opened the scoring in the 12th minute with a shot from inside the area, off the rebound from a save by goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen in a one-on-one situation with Vinícius Júnior. It was Benzema's first goal in six matches. He also had a goal disallowed for offside in the second half.
“We are very disappointed,” Barcelona defender Jules Koundé said. “We didn’t play a bad match but we made mistakes in transition in the first half and they took advantage.”
