Spain: Barça d'Aubameyang thrashes Real Madrid on its ground (0-4)

Relaunched by Xavi for several months, we will therefore have to reckon with Barça who demonstrated this Sunday that he remained formidable.

What you must remember

But where did Real Madrid go from the Champions League?

On their lawn at the Santiago Bernabeu, the people of Madrid exploded during the 29th day of La Liga, under the uninterrupted pressure of FC Barcelona which won a wide success (0-4) on Sunday.

Weighed down by a beleaguered defense, Casa Blanca suffered from start to finish against Barça de Xavi, very inspired and realistic, who thus moved up to 3rd place in the La Liga standings.

Real is "only" nine points ahead of Sevilla FC.

From the start of the match, Ousmane Dembélé hurt Real Madrid's disorganized defense very badly.

Often alone in his lane, the Barcelona number 7 almost opened the scoring in the 12th minute with a curled shot.

But if he did not find the net, Dembélé helped his teammates to do so, thanks to two assists.

Left free for the umpteenth time with ten meters in front of him, the 2018 world champion turned Nacho's head before taking a decisive advantage to cross at the near post.

Militao not seeing who was coming behind his back, Aubameyang perfectly cut the trajectory of the ball to house a powerful header in the Madrid cage and open the Barça counter (29th, 0-1).

About ten minutes later, it was from a corner that Dembélé distinguished himself by dropping a ball on the head of Araujo, mounted higher than everyone, to offer himself a second decisive pass (38th, 0- 2).

Upon returning from the locker room, Carlo Ancelotti decided to launch new blood.

But nothing helped, the Barcelona punishment was quick to fall.

From the 47th minute, Ferran Torres found himself at the end of a high-class action, on a heel from Aubameyang (0-3), after missing a duel which seemed unmissable in front of Thibault Courtois a minute earlier.

Decisive passer, "Aubam" waited five short minutes before finding the fault again.

Reported offside at first, the Gabonese finally saw his dive logically accepted after viewing the VAR (53rd, 0-4).

Like their star striker, Barça marched on Real Madrid, who seemed lost without the injured Karim Benzema.

The player: unstoppable Aubameyang

His adaptation to Xavi's system couldn't have been quicker.

By scoring twice at the Santiago Bernabeu, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang boosted his goalscoring tally to 8 in 11 games in the Blaugrana jersey.

An express ascent for the former Gunner.

Very close, on several occasions, to converting this double into a hat-trick, "Aubam" was as inspired with the head, on the first goal by cutting the cross of Dembélé, as with the foot, by achieving a sumptuous lob by- above Courtois on his second goal.

Add to that a backheel assist for Ferran Torres and the perfect match was not far away for the Gabon international.

First #ElClásico.

The number: 5

After five Clasico won by Real Madrid, FC Barcelona stopped this black series, the last defeat of which was in the semi-finals of the Spanish Super Cup just a few months ago.

But since then, the Koeman era has given way to Xavi's glorious return to the Catalan house.

The former genius midfielder breathed new life into the game which saw the Barcelona team go on to a twelfth match unbeaten in all competitions.
