In the dying embers of the game, the England international came up clutch again. The 20-year-old turned in Luka Modric's flick following Dani Carvajal's cross from the right, per BBC. The 20-year-old has scored 13 goals in 13 appearances for the club.

Lewandowski was making his return from an ankle injury he sustained earlier this month in the Champions League.

After the game, the Polish striker said their arch-rivals did not deserve to win El Clasico.

“An undeserved win for Real Madrid,” Lewandowski said. “Of course, they got the three points, but the league is long and we will not give up,” via Barca Universal.

Either way, Real Madrid took the bragging rights and the three points, and Barcelona will have to bounce back quickly. However, they will have to wait until April 2024 to avenge their painful Clasico defeat.
