Madrid: Real Madrid took a huge step toward winning the Spanish league title after beating Barcelona 3-2 with a stoppage-time goal by Jude Bellingham in the final "clasico” of the season on Sunday.
Barcelona twice took the lead at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium but Madrid came back to win for a comfortable 11-point cushion over its second-place rival entering the final six rounds.
Bellingham scored the winning goal one minute into stoppage time with a left-footed strike into the top of the net after a cross toward the far post by Lucas Vázquez.
Barcelona, the defending league champion, came to the Spanish capital looking to revive its title chances and took an early lead with a goal by Andreas Christensen six minutes into the match.
The hosts equalized with Vinícius Júnior converting an 18th-minute penalty kick before Barcelona went ahead again with Fermín López's goal in the 69th.
