Lewandowski scores brace as Barca thrash Real Madrid in Clasico
The win lifts Barca six points clear of Real Madrid at the top of La Liga and also means Real Madrid's run of 42 La Liga games without defeat comes to an end, reports Xinhua.
Atletico Madrid’s France defender Lucas Hernandez was on Saturday given medical clearance to play as the team concluded its preparations for its upcoming La Liga game against Levante.
Lucas has been on the sideline for five games since sustaining a right knee injury during Atletico’s 3-0 La Liga win over Alaves on December 8, but it seemed to be a thing of the past as he trained normally with the team.
“Lucas Hernandez received the medical green light on Saturday following the team’s training session. Our defender will be available for Sunday’s game against Levante at the Wanda Metropolitano,” the club said in a statement, reports Efe news.
