Polish striker, Robert Lewandowski inspired Barcelona to a stunning victory at the Santiago Bernabu stadium as his quick-fire second-half brace marked the beginning of 4-0 thrashing of Real Madrid on Saturday.
The weekend’s El Clasico saw Blaugranas took Real Madrid by storm with a complete display of dominance.
Carlos Ancelloti’s men enjoyed first half dominance but became frustrated as they wasted several clear chances.
This was before Polish striker Lewandowski silenced the Bernabeu crowd with a two-goal blitz after quick counter attacks in the 54th and 56th minutes.
As the Los Blancos tried to get back into the contest, Barca killed them off with two more goals on the counter as 17-year-old Lamine Yamal became the youngest Clasico scorer in the 77th minute and captain Raphinha wrapped up the win in the 84th.
As a result, Barca extended their lead at the top as they moved to 30 points, six above Real and nine clear of Villarreal in third.
