When the final whistle sounded on May 11 at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys, Real Madrid stood with their heads in their hands as Barcelona celebrated their fourth Clásico victory in 2024–25, one that all-but guaranteed them the La Liga title.
The 4–3 defeat was yet another stain on Los Blancos’ poor final campaign under Carlo Ancelotti. The Spanish giants failed to defend their Spanish or European crowns, conceded 83 goals and suffered four defeats against Barcelona across all competitions.
