Barcelona got the better of Real Madrid for the fourth time this season - securing the quadruple for the first time since 1982-83 - as they won El Clasico 4-3 to take a huge step towards securing the La Liga title.

Barcelona are now seven points clear of Real Madrid having bounced back in style from Tuesday’s gut-wrenching Champions League semi-final defeat to Inter Milan at San Siro.

With only three La Liga matches remaining Real Madrid are on course for a trophyless season after a disappointing campaign from Carlo Ancelotti’s side, but they went 2-0 up within 15 minutes after a horror start by Barcelona.

Keeper Wojciech Szczesny brought down Kylian Mbappe within the opening five minutes and the striker put the visitors ahead from the spot, doubling their lead ten minutes later. But from there Barca recovered brilliantly, with goals from Eric Garcia and Lamine Yamal and a double by Raphinha completing another stunning comeback inside the first half, before Mbappe secured a hat-trick with the only goal after the restart.

Fermin Lopez looked to have secured a fifth for the hosts in stoppage time before it was disallowed for handball, while Mbappe had a fourth disallowed himself as Real fought back in the closing stages.

Lamine Yamal: 'A very important game'

Barca’s wunderkind speaks to Premier Sports.

“It was a very important game obviously,” he says. “We wanted to bounce back in front of our own fans after what happened in the Champions League.

“We had really clear opportunities to extend our lead.

“It’s a very special moment [to hear fans celebrating]. I can’t wait to play at Camp Nou but it’s great to play here.

“We just wanted to win this game to get closer to the title.”

GOAL! Barcelona 5-3 Real Madrid

95 mins: Total, utter madness! The fans are already singing, they know the end is in sight, and Barca make sure of it: Fermin wins the ball back off Fermin, darts inside, and rifles it into the back of the net. Courtois went the right way but had no change.

Barca go absolutely wild, sprinting to the supporters to celebrate.
