Ferran Torres Assists Hat-Trick in El Clasico
Barcelona’s Big Comeback in the First Half with Rafinha’s Double
Rafinha scored Barcelona’s fourth goal in the 45th minute of El Clasico, putting Hansi Flick’s team 4-2 ahead of Real Madrid.
Barcelona once again staged a dream comeback in the first half, overshadowing Kylian Mbappé’s two early goals in El Clasico. After Eric García’s header gave Barça hope and Lamine Yamal’s stunning strike leveled the game, it was Rafinha’s turn to shine.
The Brazilian star scored Barça’s third goal just two minutes after Yamal’s second, turning a losing game into a 3-2 lead.
But Rafinha wasn’t done yet, nor were Real Madrid’s defensive mistakes. In the 45th minute, the Brazilian star scored his second goal, making it 4-2 and dampening Real’s hopes of a comeback like Inter’s.
Lucas Vázquez’s fatal mistake was the main reason for this goal. He lost the ball in the worst possible way inside Real’s box, practically gifting Rafinha a goal. The Brazilian immediately combined with Ferran Torres to score his second and Barça’s fourth.
Interestingly, Ferran Torres completed an assist hat-trick in this El Clasico. Despite not scoring himself, his three assists made him one of Hansi Flick’s key players.
