📰 First Half Recap
Barcelona came out of the gates with intensity and could have scored early through a Pau Víctor header, but Thibaut Courtois was up to the task. The match then experienced a 70-minute weather delay, making the pitch heavy and slowing Barça’s momentum.
Real Madrid took control after the delay, but their dominance was short-lived as Barça found their rhythm again. The breakthrough came just before halftime, with a misfired shot from Robert Lewandowski finding Pau Víctor, who headed home to put Barça ahead.
