Real Madrid vs Barcelona LIVE: El Clasico result and final score as hosts crumble after Aubameyang goal
Real Madrid 0-4 Barcelona: Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored twice on a wonderful night for Xavi as the hosts were humbled at the Bernabeu
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.
Real Madrid, who were missing Karim Benzema, were a shambles defensively but Carlo Ancelotti’s side remain in control of the title race after second-place Sevilla dropped points for the third match in a row earlier on Sunday.
