Barcelona proved they are well on their way back after embarrassing La Liga leaders Real Madrid with a 4-0 victory on their own pitch at the Bernabeu in El Clasico.
This was very much a statement performance from Xavi’s men, who are now daring to dream again as they look to re-establish their place at Spain’s top table after a dismal start to the post-Lionel Messi era under Ronald Koeman.
Somewhat incredibly given the contrast in seasons, the victory puts Barca 12 points behind Real Madrid but with a game in hand on their rivals, and with 10 games left to play, the Catalan giants are determined to make something of their campaign.
Goals from Ronald Araujo, Ferran Torres, and a brace from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang did the damage as Barca handed out a lesson in the Spanish capital to continue their rich vein of form.
