🔥 "Barcelona didn’t just beat Real Madrid—they EXPOSED them. Carvajal was a DISASTER, Ancelotti got it WRONG, and now LaLiga is wide open. 👀

Was this the game that decides the title? ⚔️ [READ THE BREAKDOWN] (febspot.com/video/2765237) #ElClasico #Barcelona #RealMadrid #LaLiga #Football #Soccer #Barça #RMCF #FCB #HalaMadrid #ViscaBarça #Lewandowski #Vinicius #Xavi #Ancelotti #UCL #ChampionsLeague #FootballTwitter #Futbol #GOAT #Tactics #Comeback #TitleRace #TerStegen #Benzema #Pedri #Gavi

FebspotFC Barcelona 4-3 Real Madrid: A Thrilling Clásico Masterpiece – Tactical Breakdown & Key TakeawaysThe latest edition of El Clásico delivered everything fans could ask for—drama, goals, comebacks, and controversy—as FC Barcelona edged Real Madrid 4-3 in a pulsating LaLiga showdown. This wasn’t just a match; it was a rollercoaster of emotions, a tactical chess match, and a statement victory that keeps the title race wide open. In this in-depth analysis, we break down: ✅ How Barcelona staged a stunning comeback ✅ Real Madrid’s defensive collapse ✅ Key players who decided the game ✅ What this means for the LaLiga title race ⚽ Match Recap: A Seven-Goal Spectacle From the first whistle, this Clásico was electric. Real Madrid struck first, but Barcelona refused to die, turning the game on its head in a breathless second half. Key Moments: ⚡ Fast Start: Real Madrid took an early lead, capitalizing on defensive errors. Barça’s Response: A quick-fire double turned the tide. Late Drama: A controversial penalty and a last-gasp winner sealed the deal. Tactical Breakdown: How Barcelona Outsmarted Madrid Xavi’s Midfield Masterclass Barcelona’s midfield dominance was the difference. Pedri, Gavi, and Frenkie de Jong controlled the tempo, exploiting Madrid’s lack of a true defensive midfielder. Exploiting Madrid’s Right Flank Dani Carvajal had a nightmare against Barcelona’s left-wing attacks. Ferran Torres and Raphinha relentlessly targeted the space behind him, leading to two goals. ❌ Ancelotti’s Costly Substitutions Carlo Ancelotti waited too long to make changes. By the time Rodrygo & Camavinga entered, Barcelona had already seized control. Standout Performers: Who Won the Clásico ⭐ Barcelona’s Heroes Lewandowski (9/10): A brace, including the winner. Clinical. Gavi (8.5/10): Tireless in midfield, won key duels. Ter Stegen (8/10): Crucial saves at vital moments. ⚠️ Real Madrid’s Weak Links Carvajal (4/10): Torn apart defensively. Lunin (5/10): Could’ve done better on two goals. Kroos (6/10): Overrun in midfield. Title Race Implications: LaLiga Still Alive With this win, Barcelona: ✔ Cut the gap to just 2 points behind Madrid. ✔ Sent a psychological blow to their rivals. ✔ Proved they can win big games under pressure. If Madrid slip again, the title could swing Barcelona’s way. Final Thoughts: A Clásico for the Ages This was more than just a game—it was a defining moment in LaLiga’s season. Barcelona showed resilience, tactical intelligence, and killer instinct. Madrid, meanwhile, must fix their defensive issues fast. One thing’s certain: The title race just got a whole lot spicier.

Whoa, read this all the way through.

Woman who accused Trump thug Corey #Lewandowski of assault speaks out: "I don't want this to happen to anyone else" “He has his power back.” “Completely demeaning…” “I was like his prey.”

The details are horrific.

I hope @atrupar posts the vids here, but here’s a partial quote:

Trump and his campaign enter turbulent phase in final weeks

With just 45 days left until the election,
the past three weeks reveal whatever control and self-restraint helped launch Trump’s third presidential campaign has largely disappeared in the crucial final stretch.


On the Monday before Trump’s first debate with Vice President Kamala Harris, his running mate shared on social media, without evidence, the claim that #Haitian #immigrants were abducting and 🔸eating their neighbors’ pets
— one Trump repeated the following night on the debate stage, in a moment that instantly went viral.

Trump’s #chaotic and widely criticized #debate #performance coincided with an already tumultuous period for the former president.

He had recently welcomed back into his orbit Corey #Lewandowski
— his former 2016 campaign manager who was exiled after allegations of #sexual #assault by a donor
— and had begun traveling around the country with Laura #Loomer, a far-right ally who has spread #conspiracy #theories.

Two failed apparent #assassination attempts,
as well as additional #threats against him,
have also left the freewheeling presidential candidate constrained by a mushrooming #security presence and has made staging campaign events more challenging.

Meanwhile, after #Taylor #Swift endorsed Harris following the debate, Trump picked a fight with the international icon, posting last Sunday on social media,
“I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!”
— the sort of impulsive, #impetuous display that has become increasingly common in recent weeks.

⭐️In a single 24-hour span at the end of last month, for example,
♦️he amplified a crude joke about Harris performing a sex act;
♦️falsely accused her of staging a coup against President Joe Biden;
♦️promoted tributes to the QAnon conspiracy theory;
hawked digital trading cards;
♦️and became embroiled in a public feud with staff and officials at Arlington National Cemetery.

The Washington Post · Trump and his campaign enter turbulent phase in final weeksBy Ashley Parker

Trump adds five new handlers as he tries to find attack lines against Harris

Trump brought Taylor #Budowich, Alex #Pfeiffer and Alex #Bruesewitz from the Trump-aligned "Maga Inc" political action committee,
as well as previous Trump campaign veterans Corey #Lewandowski and Tim #Murtaugh.

The new additions are coming onto the Trump campaign as "senior advisers", meaning they are lateral hires to a campaign still being run by co-campaign chiefs Susie #Wiles and Chris #LaCivita, the people said.

Lewandowski previously ran the 2016 campaign but does not have the same role now.
He has remained an "informal adviser" to Trump since the first presidential campaign, and will continue that function but in a more formal capacity through the final stretch to November, one of the people said.

Murtaugh, who was the communications director for the 2020 campaign, is returning in a broader role, as will Budowich, Pfeiffer and Bruesewitz, one of the people said.

Bruesewitz has a large online following and is expected to help direct social outreach.
The additions came after senior aides on the Trump campaign found themselves open to criticism and challenges to their positions after perhaps the rockiest stretch for the campaign since it launched in 2022, the Guardian has previously reported.

The summer months have historically been the time that Trump makes changes to his campaign chiefs, as he did in 2016 when he installed Kellyanne #Conway, Steve #Bannon, and David #Bossie to take the reins,
as well as in 2020, when he replaced Brad Parscale with Bill #Stepien.

The past month has been bad enough for the Trump campaign that advisers have taken those challenges
– whether from enemies real or perceived
– as serious threats or slights that necessitate devoting time and effort to #slap #down

The Guardian · Trump adds five new advisers as he tries to find attack lines against HarrisBy Hugo Lowell

Why is Trump bringing back sleazy creep Corey Lewandowski to advise his campaign? He's not in prison AND, he knows how to lie to the media.

As #Lewandowski famously said UNDER OATH during the Trump impeachment hearing,

"I have no obligation to be honest to the media."
