Rodrygo Goes has described Real Madrid’s 2-1 victory over Barcelona at the Bernabeu on Sunday evening as a great win, Softfootball reports.
Despite Lamine Yamal’s mind games before the encounter accusing the Los Blancos of always complaining and getting favourable refereeing calls, Real Madrid beat Barcelona 2-1 in the first El Clasico played in the season.
Writing on his official X handle after the victory, Rodrygo was obviously elated by what he and his teammates achieved in the game. He wrote:
Una gran victoria en nuestra casa 🤍 HALA MADRID Y NADA MÁS . This in English means: A great victory at our home 🤍 HALA MADRID AND NOTHING MORE.
Interestingly, Rodrygo started from the bench as fellow Brazilian Vinicius Junior was preferred in the left side of attack for Real Madrid. The home side took the lead through new signing Kylian Mbappe after his initial effort was ruled out for offside.
Barcelona fought their way back into the match as Spain international Fermin Lopez equalised for the away side but the Los Blancos had the last laugh as English star, Jude Bellingham scored to make it 2-1. Barcelona finished the game with 10-men as Pedri was sent off late in the match.
Real Madrid extends their lead ontop of LaLiga to 27 points while Barcelona remain second with 22 points after 10 matches so far this season.
