With a dominant performance at the Santiago Bernabeu, Barcelona claimed a stunning 4-0 win over Real Madrid.

This decisive victory wasn't just another win in the books; It was a showcase of Barcelona's young talent, with six players from the club's renowned La Masia academy taking to the pitch.

Hansi Flick's tactical plan effectively dismantled Real Madrid's usual strengths and gave fans a glimpse of Barcelona's future. Here's a breakdown of how each of these young players contributed to Barcelona's stunning win.

Alejandro Balde – precision on the flanks

Alejandro Balde made a big impression and proved to be more than just a reliable presence on the wing. His skills on the left often caused problems for Madrid's defenders and he was also solid defensively.

His most memorable moment was the precise cross into the penalty area that Robert Lewandowski set up for his second goal.

This assist wasn't just a routine pass; Balde showed remarkable accuracy, directing the ball perfectly to find Lewandowski's position in the penalty area.

His movement off the ball also helped Barcelona strengthen Madrid's defense, creating more space for his teammates to exploit.

Pau Cubarsi – composure in defense

Pau Cubarsi was under enormous pressure and played in one of the most demanding games for a young player. Nevertheless, he mastered the high stakes with impressive calm and maturity.

One of the outstanding aspects of Cubarsi's game was his role in Barcelona's defensive build-up, particularly in maintaining a strong offside trap.

His awareness and discipline left Real Madrid's strikers frustrated and denied them the chance to capitalize on several attacking moves.

Cubarsi showed he could be relied upon in difficult situations and gave a glimpse of his potential to become a reliable defender for Barcelona.

Marc Casado – The midfield anchor

Marc Casado was the heartbeat of the team in midfield. His role as a central anchor ensured Barcelona could control the pace of the game.

Not only did he shine defensively and break up Real Madrid's attacks, but his ball distribution added another layer to Barcelona's game. His passing was precise and he often passed to Pedri to keep the ball moving.

Casado also tried to break the lines with some long-range passes, opening up Real Madrid's defensive structure.

His work off the ball has been crucial, as has his contribution in closing gaps and helping Barcelona maintain their defensive shape, making it clear he is a player to keep an eye on.

Fermin Lopez – A mixed effect

Fermin Lopez struggled to replicate the impact he made in previous games, particularly his memorable performance against Bayern Munich.

Although his movement and tactical awareness were good, he failed to find the spaces necessary to break through Real Madrid's defense.

Well, it wasn't a bad performance, but the midfielder didn't quite fit the tactical formation that Flick had come up with for this game.

Lamine Yamal – The trigger of the attack

Lamine Yamal played a key role in Barcelona's forward line. He demonstrated improved defensive performance, positioning himself deeper when necessary and attempting to support his teammates with defensive coverage.

One of his standout moments came in the first half when he created a one-on-one chance but was unable to convert it into a goal.

However, his persistence paid off in the second half when he scored a sensational goal with his right foot from an extremely tight angle. He had the most shots (4) among Barcelona players and also made two tackles.

Inaki Pena – A stone between the posts

Inaki Pena delivered a strong performance, making several crucial saves that prevented Real Madrid from finding a rhythm. Throughout the game, he thwarted attempts on goal by key Real Madrid players, including Jude Bellingham and Kylian Mbappe.

His composure under pressure and ability to stop shots were crucial to Barcelona keeping a clean sheet as he made four saves in total.
