Dembele, Lopez, and Torres on target as Barcelona thrash Real Madrid in El Clasico
FC Barcelona recorded a 3-0 victory against archrivals Real Madrid in El Clasico played on Sunday, July 30, 2023.
The Soccer Champions Tour at the AT&T Stadium in Dallas provided a spectacular affair for over 82,000 fans in attendance.
Three outstanding goals were scored in a match that never felt like a friendly but featured a lot of tension, and tremendous chances, as Barcelona debuted their new home jersey in a massive win.

Barcelona 3-0 Real Madrid
Barça dominated the opening 20 minutes of the game with what was anticipated to be their strongest XI, at least to begin the season.
Featuring the help of Oriol Romeu, Frenkie De Jong, Pedri, and Ilkay Gündogan, Barcelona were able to dominate the midfield.
Barcelona worked hard to recover the ball swiftly and prevent a Real Madrid counterattack.
A rocket shot from Ousmane Dembélé into the bottom corner gave Barcelona the lead after Pedri found the Frenchman alone inside the box.
After falling behind, Madrid began to exert more effort, and when Ronald Araujo handled the ball in the penalty area, Madrid nearly had an opportunity to score, but Vinicius hit the crossbar.

To increase their fitness, Xavi Hernández made the decision to keep his key players in the game for a lot longer than the opening match against Arsenal.
20-year-old midfielder Fermin Lopez, a star of the academy, scored the second goal by rocketing the ball into the top corner with his weaker left foot.
Fermin ended his spectacular cameo with an assist, playing a gorgeous pass over the top to Ferran Torres, which helped Barcelona secure the victory.
