Barcelona Thrash Real Madrid 4-0 at the Bernabéu. Latest.

It was an embarrassing defeat for Real Madrid as Barcelona Neymar and Suarez made it hard for the Madrid defenders. It is for sure a defeat that will go down in history

The home fans are understandably upset, they have just seen their side comprehensively dismantled by their fiercest rivals. They wave their white hankies and whistle loudly – the club try their best to drown this out by turning the full-time music up to 11. It was not looking good for Rafa before the match and it is looking pretty awful right about now.

Isco's red card made it looked even awful at the 85 minute, as he brought down Neymar.

Luis Enrique said Barcelona’s performance would “go down in history” and described Andrés Iniesta as “world heritage” after his side defeated Real Madrid 4-0 at the Bernabéu.  

The Barcelona manager has seen his team go from a point behind Madrid to six points ahead over the past 11 weeks without Messi. Asked if he now had a problem finding a place in the team for Messi, he responded sarcastically: “That’s a bloody massive problem.”

Benítez’s problems are far more serious and the full impact of this defeat may not yet be clear. The coach was already under pressure and the chants for the president to resign cannot have helped. Asked whether he was happy with the surprisingly attacking team he had selected, one which appeared out of character and then found itself outplayed by Barcelona, Benítez said: “I can’t say it well.”
