Real Madrid are humiliated by FC Barcelona in the La Liga Clásico. The defending champions and Champions League winners lost 4-0 at home.
Barcelona's match-winner was Robert Lewandowski, who scored in the 54th and 56th minutes to make it 1-0 and 2-0. The Polish striker is in top form. He scored his 13th and 14th goals in his eleventh game in the current championship. 17-year-old Lamine Yamal (77th) and Raphinha (84th) with a casual lob (84th) completed the debacle for the Whites.
The visitors were not as superior as the result suggests. Nevertheless, the clear victory was no accident. Since the German Hansi Flick took over as Barcelona coach this season, the Catalans have been a goal machine. They have already scored 38 goals in La Liga. Last Wednesday, they also dispatched Bayern Munich 4:1 in the Champions League and defeated Young Boys 5:0.
Thanks to the clear victory against Real, Barcelona are now six points ahead of the Madrilenians in the league table. They scored twice in the Clásico, but both goals from star striker Kylian Mbappé were disallowed due to offsides.
