In a pulsating El Cl&aacute;sico at the Estadi Ol&iacute;mpic Llu&iacute;s Companys, Barcelona overcame an early two-goal deficit to defeat Real Madrid 4-3, moving seven points clear at the top of La Liga with three matches remaining.
Kylian Mbapp&eacute; gave Real Madrid a flying start, converting a penalty in the 5th minute and adding another goal in the 14th, bringing his season tally to 39 goals and surpassing the club debut season records set by Ivan Zamorano and Cristiano Ronaldo.
 Barcelona responded emphatically. Eric Garc&iacute;a headed in from a corner in the 19th minute, Lamine Yamal equalized in the 32nd minute, and Raphinha scored twice (34th and 45th minutes) to give Barcelona a 4-2 lead at halftime.
Mbapp&eacute; completed his hat-trick in the 70th minute, narrowing the deficit to 4-3, but Real Madrid couldn't find an equalizer. Barcelona's victory marks their fourth consecutive win over Real Madrid this season, having previously defeated them in the Supercopa, Copa del Rey, and an earlier league match.
With three games remaining, Barcelona needs just one more win to secure the La Liga title.
