Follow live reaction as Barcelona produced a sublime performance to stun rivals Real Madrid and claim a 4-0 win in El Clasico at the Bernabeu.

Real Madrid came into the match well clear at the top of La Liga and 15 points ahead of Barcelona in the table, but the visitors produced their best performance of the season so far under new manager Xavi.

Former Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored twice on his first El Clasico appearance with Ferran Torres and Ronald Araujo also on target as Xavi’s side strenthened their Champions League qualification hoeps with a famous win.
