"Legendary former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has weighed in on yesterday's El Clasico, praising Real Madrid's defensive organisation and composure as the key factors behind their 2-1 victory over Barcelona. According to Wenger, Madrid's ability to stay compact and disciplined at the back ultimately decided the match in their favour. The win marked Real Madrid's first triumph over Barcelona in the last five El Clasicos, and it came in front of a packed Santiago Bernabeu."
"Despite Hansi Flick's side dominating possession for long stretches, they struggled to create meaningful chances against Madrid's backline. Eder Militao and Dean Huijsen stood tall, while Federico Valverde/Dani Carvajal and Alvaro Carreras provided the necessary balance on the flanks. A Clasico is never just another fixture on the calendar, and this encounter lived up to its reputation. From the first whistle, intensity and tension were evident. The match was fiercely contested, with emotions running high right until the final moments."
