El Clásico is blaugrana! Barça claimed a 4–2 win in Reus in an open but largely one-sided game. After the home loss to Deportivo Liceo, this high-voltage victory was the perfect response.

Instant impact

Barely a minute in, Barça were already ahead. Ferran Font picked up a rebound and found Sergi Aragonès unmarked to tap in the opener (0–1). The goal silenced a packed arena, and Barça kept pressing hard.

A lucky second

Both sides traded chances until Pablo Álvarez’s long shot rebounded off the backboard, hit keeper Càndid Ballart and went in (0–2). Reus struck back before the break through Marc Julià (1–2), and after halftime the hosts kept threatening, hitting the post through Oruste.

Decisive finish

Eloi Cervera earned a penalty that Xavi Barroso buried off the crossbar (1–3), but Reus quickly replied through Salvat (2–3). Barça held firm, surviving a tenth-foul free hit thanks to Carles Grau and the woodwork, before Sergi Llorca sealed it (2–4) after catching Aragonès’s clever pass.
