MADRID, May 11 (Xinhua) -- FC Barcelona has one hand on this season's La Liga trophy after winning a thrilling Clasico 4-3 against Real Madrid on Sunday.

Although Kylian Mbappe scored a hat-trick for Madrid, two goals from Raphinha and one each from Eric Garcia and Lamine Yamal gave Barca three points that put them seven clear of Madrid with just nine points left to play for.

Real Madrid got off to a flying start when an error from Pau Cubarsi put Kylian Mbappe clear, only for the striker to be brought down by Wojciech Szczesny, with the Frenchman picking himself up to score from the spot after just five minutes.

It was 2-0 in the 13th minute as Mbappe beat the offside trap and confidently smashed the ball past Szczesny to double the lead.

Barca needed to get back into the game quickly, and Garcia did just that with a close-range header in the 19th minute after Ferran Torres had flicked on Dani Olmo's corner.

Yamal leveled with a stunning left-foot shot in the 32nd minute after Torres laid the ball back to him, and two minutes later it was 3-2 after a mix-up in the Madrid attack between Fede Valverde and Mbappe saw Pedri pick their pockets.

The midfielder found Raphinha in space, and the Brazilian made no mistake with his left-footed effort.

Real Madrid looked ragged and Barca was in complete control, although there was a nervous moment when the referee gave Madrid a penalty after Mbappe went down, only to correct his decision for a narrow offside.

Raphinha headed another chance over the bar after a wonderful pass from Yamal, but made no mistake on the verge of halftime after he robbed Lucas Vazquez and exchanged passes with Torres.

Barca controlled most of the second half, but had some nervous moments after Mbappe again beat the offside trap to pull a goal back, and the Frenchman could have scored a fourth, only to shoot tamely at Szczesny.

Youngster Victor Munoz also fired wide for Madrid moments after coming on.

Barca will be crowned La Liga champion with a win away to local rival Espanyol on Thursday night. ■
