Defeating Barcelona, Real Madrid took the top spot in La Liga
Real Madrid beat Barcelona in the second leg of the El Clasico to regain the top spot in La Liga.
Real Madrid started the game better, creating a good game despite not having as much possession as their opponents. Meanwhile, Barca played slowly and did not create significant pressure on the opponent's defense. However, the visitors had unexpected acceleration situations to create clear opportunities.

Three points in El Clasico helped Real Madrid regain the top spot in La Liga. The Bernabeu team is 1 point ahead of its rival after 26 rounds.
As a reserve at Muangthong, Van Lam "practiced alone" for 3 weeks before joining the national team.
In the match of round 4 of Thai League which took place late on March 1, Muangthong United welcomed their opponent Chonburi. Coach Alexandre Gama continued to trust goalkeeper Somporn Yos instead of Dang Van Lam.
This is the second time since coming to Thailand to compete that Van Lam has lost his official position to his teammates. Previously in round 3, the Vietnamese player was also not allowed to play. Coach Gama did not give any explanation for the decision to change the goalkeeper position of Muangthong.

This will certainly greatly affect the performance of the goalkeeper who is holding the number 1 position in the goal of the Vietnam National Team.
