Xavi plots upset in El Clasico against La Liga leaders Real Madrid

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.

Real Madrid 0 - 1 Barcelona

32 mins: Real Madrid are really missing Karim Benzema. His presence up top is a comfort and to deal with his absence Carlo Ancelotti has changed Madrid’s formation. It’s not working out for them. A rethink may be needed before Barcelona get too far ahead.

GOAL! Real Madrid 0 - 1 Barcelona (Aubameyang, 29’)⚽️

29 mins: There’s the opener! It’s a deserved goal for Barcelona who’ve been brilliant so far. Ousmane Dembele brings the ball down the right wing and takes on Nacho. He shifts it to away from the left-back and floats a cross into the middle of the box. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang makes a move into the six-yard box, leaps into the air and guides his header into the bottom corner!

27 mins: It’s better from Real Madrid. They keep the ball and work it up the pitch. Luka Modric brings it into midfield from the left and gives it to Casemiro who lays the ball back to Eder Militao. Militao threads another fine through ball up to Rodrygo who can’t bring it under control and lets it roll out for a goal kick.

24 mins: Toni Kroos is shown the first yellow card of the game for late challenge on Sergio Busquets. Carlo Ancelotti doesn’t look too pleased with what he’s seeing out there. Barcelona look very comfortable with Real’s best chances coming from counter-attacks.

Real Madrid 0 - 0 Barcelona

18 mins: Close! Barcelona get lucky as a pacey pass from the right wing flies past everyone on the edge of the Real box before finishing with Ferran Torres. He rolls the ball onto his right foot and attempts to curl one into the far bottom corner but sends his effort narrowly wide of the back post.

Real Madrid 0 - 0 Barcelona

15 mins: Ousmane Dembele has a shot turned away by Courtois as well. The Real Madrid goalkeeper is keeping his team in this game at the minute.

Barcelona are definitely in the ascendancy and they’ll need to make use of it.

Real Madrid 0 - 0 Barcelona

12 mins: Save! Barcelona should have the lead!

Ferran Torres sprints down the left wing and is given the ball by Sergio Busquets’ threaded pass. He carries it to the byline before cutting it into the six yard box for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. He turns it towards goal with his first touch but Thibaut Courtois shuffles to his left and parries it away from close range.

Fantastic save from the Real Madrid goalkeeper!

Real Madrid 0 - 0 Barcelona

9 mins: Save! What a pass this is from Eder Militao. Deep in his own half, he slots a long through ball in between Gerard Pique and Ronald Araujo to send Vinicius Jr in behind. He brings the ball into the area and holds it up long enough of Federico Valverde to arrive. Vinicius lays the ball off and Valverde side foots a shot at goal only for Marc-Andre ter Stegen to leap to his left and palm the ball away.

Real Madrid 0 - 0 Barcelona

6 mins: Federico Valverde brings the ball down the right side and passes it up to Rodrygo. He darts inside and floats an aerial pass over to Vinicius Junior on the opposite side of the pitch. Vinicius takes on Ronald Araujo but Ousmane Dembele tracks back and nicks the ball.

Barca don’t keep the ball for long and Valverde sparks another attack with a nice run into the final third before passing the ball out to Rodrygo again. He runs at Jordi Alba, shifts it into the box and smokes a shot just wide of goal!
