The FC Barcelona has written a new golden chapter in its history by achieving a clean sweep of victories in the four Classics played this season against their eternal rival, Real Madrid. This achievement, which had not been seen since the 1982-83 season, stands as a testament to the unconformity and determination of the team led by Hansi Flick.
The first victory came at the Santiago Bernabéu, where Barça triumphed with a resounding 0-4 in the first round of LaLiga. From that moment on, the Catalan team did not look back, showcasing a capacity for comebacks that has left a mark in every subsequent encounter.
Spanish Supercup: A Crushing Start
In the Spanish Supercup final, held in Saudi Arabia, Barça had to deal with a challenging start. Kylian Mbappé opened the scoring for Madrid, but the culé team reacted spectacularly, turning a 1-0 into a 2-1 in less than half an hour, and closing the match with a 2-5 that showcased their superiority, even while playing with one less man after Wojciech Szczesny's expulsion.
Copa del Rey: Resilience in La Cartuja
The Copa del Rey final was another thrilling chapter in this story. Despite starting behind, with goals from Mbappé and Tchouameni putting the score at 1-2, the Barça team did not give up. Ferran Torres quickly equalized, and after an intense extra time, a stunning goal from Jules Koundé in the 117th minute sealed the victory at 3-2.
La Liga: A Thrilling Classic
The last Classic of the season, held in Montjuïc, was a true spectacle. Real Madrid took the lead with a 0-2 thanks to two goals from Mbappé, but Barça, true to their combative spirit, managed to turn the situation around in the blink of an eye. In just 29 minutes, the score changed to 3-2 in favor of Barça, culminating in a 4-3 that clearly demonstrated the culé dominance this season.
With these results, FC Barcelona has not only achieved a historic milestone by winning all Classics of the season, but they have also come within one victory of equaling the direct confrontation history with Real Madrid, which now stands at 105 victories for the merengues and 104 for the culés.
The 2024-25 season will be remembered as a year of glory for FC Barcelona, which has shown that under Hansi Flick's leadership, the team not only seeks to win but also to make history.
