Needing a win just to draw level with Barcelona at the top of the La Liga table, Real Madrid were instead trounced at home in Saturday’s El Clásico, giving up three goals as Lionel Messi watched
from the bench. Luis Suárez struck first for Barcelona, drilling a pass from Sergi Roberto with the outside of his right foot past goalkeeper Keylor Navas.
Andrés Iniesta’s brilliant playmaking ability from midfield helped Barcelona double its advantage before halftime. Iniesta drew Luka Modric and Raphaël Varane away from Neymar, then slipped a pass to the Brazilian, who slid a shot underneath a scrambling Navas.
Iniesta all but sealed three points himself in the 53rd minute, drilling a shot from the edge of the penalty area into the top right corner of the net.
Barcelona then brought on Lionel Messi as a substitute in the 57th minute, and added a fourth goal in the 74th.usatoday
