El Clásico: Barcelona will win LaLiga, and Real Madrid let them

BARCELONA -- In a breathless Clásico, Barcelona fought back from 0-2 down to beat Real Madrid 4-3 on Sunday, taking a giant step towards winning the LaLiga title.

Kylian Mbappé put Madrid ahead from the penalty spot in the fifth minute and doubled the visitors' lead shortly afterwards, to give Madrid hope of blowing the title race wide open at Montjuïc. But their joy was short-lived, as Eric García's header reduced the deficit, Lamine Yamal's curling shot made it 2-2, and Raphinha scored twice to see Barça go in 4-2 up at halftime.
