Raphinha scored twice as Barcelona overcame a two-goal deficit to secure a crucial 4-3 home victory against rivals Real Madrid in a pulsating Clasico on Sunday, edging them closer to the LaLiga title. The victory extends Barcelona's lead at the top of the standings to seven points over second-place Real Madrid with three matches remaining. "In a game of this level you have to defend well and attack well," Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti said after the match. Hansi Flick's side can secure the LaLiga title as early as Wednesday, should Real Madrid fail to win at Mallorca. However, Barcelona responded swiftly with Eric García, Lamine Yamal and Raphinha all finding the net within 15 minutes to overturn the deficit.
