Barcelona vs Real Madrid score, result as Ousmane Dembele scores in 3-0 El Clasico preseason friendly win USA

Barcelona won another preseason El Clasico in the USA against rivals Real Madrid, blanking them 3-0 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. They also won summer El Clasico affairs on U.S. soil in 2017 and 2022.

An early 15th-minute goal by Ousmane Dembele on a training field set-piece move set the La Liga champions on their way, and they sealed the result with two late goals that saw 20-year-old academy product Fermin Lopez at the center of both.

Real Madrid had multiple chances, but Vinicius Jr hit the crossbar on a first-half penalty kick, and Madrid hit the woodwork four other times as the finishing failed a team seeking to find its way without longtime captain and top scorer Karim Benzema, who moved to Saudi Arabia.

It was a welcome victory for Barcelona, who were forced to cancel a friendly match against Juventus because of a bout of gastroenteritis that afflicted the squad, then lost 5-3 to Arsenal. They next face AC Milan on Tuesday and then Tottenham on August 8 before opening the season at Getafe on August 13.

Real Madrid saw their winning preseason run end after victories over AC Milan (3-2) and Manchester United (2-0). They meet Juventus on August 2 in Orlando before heading back to Spain ahead of the start of the season on August 12.
