This is called a collective demonstration! FC Barcelona, who had lost the last five clasicos, crushed Real Madrid 4-0 on Sunday for the 29th day of La Liga at the Santiago-Bernabéu stadium, and went back to 3rd place in the standings, tied with Atlético Madrid (4th, 54 pts), winner of Rayo Vallecano 1-0 on Saturday.
In the absence of Karim Benzema, injured, it was another Frenchman who distinguished himself on the lawn of the Castilian club. But he wore the Catalan colors. By his flashes, Ousmane Dembélé, holder on the right wing, put Barça in orbit by successfully serving Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (29th) then Araujo (38th).
Two blows from which Real never recovered. After the break, Xavi’s team finished folding the game in the space of six minutes: Torres added to the score in the 47th minute, before Aubameyang went there with his double (53rd).
You had to go back to November 2015 to find traces of such humiliation for Real Madrid in a Clasico. At the time, Varane, Cristiano Ronaldo and others lost by the same score against the Catalan armada led by Neymar, Messi or Iniesta.
