Barcelona vs Real Madrid Live: Club Friendlies LIVE – BAR vs RMA LIVE –With a 3-0 victory in the season’s last Clasico, Barcelona earns bragging rights. Dembele, Lopez, and Torres scored to give Barcelona their second preseason victory. Real fought back, clattering the woodwork on what seemed like an endless number of occasions. They simply couldn’t find the clinical finish required to go past Ter Stegen.
Both Carlo Ancelotti and Xavi Hernandez chose extremely strong teams for the encounter, and Barcelona got off to a fast start. They were inches away from opening the scoring early on. However, Oriol Romeu’s thundering volley hit the crossbar on his debut.

Fortunately for Barcelona, they quickly seized the lead. Ilkay Gundogan and Pedri’s well-worked free-kick routine gave Ousmane Dembele time inside the area, and he finished past Thibaut Courtois.
Real Madrid came close to equalising on many occasions shortly after. They were given a penalty, which Vinicius Junior only managed to hit the crossbar with. They then struck the woodwork twice more in rapid succession.
The game in Dallas was fierce, with numerous heavy tackles from both sides. Both Gundogan and Andreas Christensen got knocks as a result of this, neither of which is thought to be significant. Ferland Mendy was also substituted, despite seeming to have a hamstring injury.

Aurelien Tchouameni hit a spectacular long-range attempt against the bar. Later, Barcelona punished Real Madrid for their wastefulness by adding a second late on, thanks to a stunning effort from teenager Fermin Lopez.
After being set up by Lopez, Ferran Torres added a late third. Those goals guaranteed that Barcelona won their first pre-season game, something Xavi will no doubt be overjoyed about.
