    What's the story

    Real Madrid overcame Barcelona 3-1 in a classic El Clasico encounter on matchday nine of La Liga 2022-23 season on Sunday.

    Karim Benzema and Federico Valverde scored in the first half to hand Real a 2-0 advantage. In the second half, Benzema had a goal chalked off for offside.

    Ferran Torres pulled one back for Barca before Rodrygo scored a penalty.

    Context

    Why does this story matter?

    Real were the better side and played with a lot of character. La Liga holders Real look like the real deal this season.

    The win will please Ancelotti as Barcelona were doing well up until now in the league.

    To breach Barca's defensive line was another solid achievement. Xavi will be gutted given Barca's performance over the last two games in all competitions.
