Barcelona's flying football didn't go well against Inter in the Champions League semi-finals, but this is the season in which the Catalan giants are stomping towards all domestic trophies by toying with their hated rival.
Barça is close to winning the Spanish championship after a spectacular "el clásico" at Montjuic, which saw six goals at half-time and seven in total - 4:3.
Hansi Flick's team can do anything when they have the ball, and they can also mess it up when the opponent has it at their feet, but in the fourth match against Real Madrid, they saw everything that characterized the previous three - the dominance of the team led by the German. That was the case for at least 80 of the total 96 minutes...
The "Blaugrana" could afford the luxury of being two goals down after 14 minutes of the derby (Killian Mbape was double shooter), and she turned things around in her favor by the age of 34.
Eric Garcia is reduced the deficit with a header after a corner kick, then it's masterful in the style of Lionel Messi Lamin Jamal equalized with a shot into the far corner, and Rafinha brought the home team a huge 4:2 lead by halftime with two goals.
The first one has assisted by Pedro, at the second Ferran Torres after the Brazilian took the ball away from Lucas Vazquez.
Real conceded four goals in 45 minutes, realistically they could have scored at least two or three more - this Barça is simply too strong for Carlo Ancelotti's team, whose clear intention was to wait for the opponent to make a mistake and try to "wound" them with counterattacks.
He succeeded in doing so at the start of the "el clasico", but later on Ancelotti's players were the ones who rushed from one mistake to another, whether in setting up or passing the ball, so as time went on, Barca's players became more and more comfortable on every part of the pitch.
Barça wondered everything, but still gave their rival enough space to create chances out of nothing.
So Mbappe reduced the score to 4:3 midway through the second half and completed the hat-trick, and great chances were missed in the finish by reserve player Victor Munoz and the Frenchman when he was stopped by Wojciech Szczesny.
And it seems that was it, that Real has definitely handed the crown to Barca, who have seven points more with three rounds to go and could celebrate their 28th title next weekend.
Flick became only the second coach in history (after Pep Guardiola) to win in his first four appearances in the "el clasico", and Mbappe became the third footballer in the 21st century to score a hat-trick in the clashes between Barça and Real - after Messi (twice) and Luis Suarez. And he is the first Real player to score three goals in the derby since Ivan Zamorano in 1995.
