After an hour-long interruption due to a violent storm, the pre-season Clasico between FC Barcelona and Real Madrid was finally won by Hansi Flick’s men (2-1), at the MetLife Stadium in New York, on the night of Saturday to Sunday.
The young forward from the reserves, Pau Victor (22 years old), author of a double (42nd and 54th), allowed the Blaugranas to secure their victory. And Real’s reduction in the score, from a header from Nico Paz on a corner, in the last ten minutes (82nd), did not change anything at the end of the match.
After a defeat against AC Milan (1-0) on Thursday, the Madrid team, who left for training without their new star Kylian Mbappé, suffered a second defeat in pre-season training in the United States. While the Barcelona team recorded a third victory in three friendly matches since the start of the summer.
