Real Madrid’s bad luck in El Clasico has ended following their 4-0 win against [Barcelona](https://technosports.co.in/barcelona-vs-javier-tebas-war-la-liga-pres-resn/) at Camp Nou. The defending La Liga champions have now advanced to the finals of the Copa del Rey, beating their rivals 4-1 on aggregate in the semifinals. 

The first half saw the hosts put in a decent performance. But, a very strong showing from Thibaut Courtois, and Eduardo Camavinga, who was played at left-back again, prevented them from conceding. The young Frenchman was incredible last night, as he put in a remarkable defensive shift even though it isn’t his natural position.

Right before the first half ended, Vinicius Jr broke his Camp Nou scoring curse with a goal following a break. The ball had crossed the line before Benzema nudged it in, and the goal was credited to the Brazilian. 

[Benzema](https://twitter.com/TeamCRonaldo/status/1643711097663528963?s=20) has now scored a hat-trick in consecutive games, following their recent win over Valladolid. The striker scored following the break with a well-placed finish from outside the box. And then, he converted from the penalty spot after Vinicius was fouled by Franck Kessie. 

The Real Madrid captain scored his third goal with a calm chip over ter Stegen’s foot, making it 4-0 for his side. Karim Benzema has become the first Madridista to score a hat-trick at Camp Nou since Ferenc Puskas, who achieved the feat in 1963. 

Carlo Ancelotti finally has a win over Xavi Hernandez in El Clasico, while his side have a great chance to finish the season with a trophy. Real Madrid will face Osasuna in the finals of the Copa del Rey to complete their trophy haul under the Italian.
