Barcelona wins El Clasico against Real Madrid

Madrid, Oct 26 (PL) Barcelona thrashed Real Madrid 4-0 today in the El Clasico of Spanish soccer at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium and moved within six points of its archrivals in the LaLiga standings.

The azulgranas, who arrived at Madrid's Casa Blanca motivated after beating their European 'bête noire', Bayern Munich, in the Champions League, cut short the streak of their opponents, who had gone 42 consecutive league matches without defeat.

With the world at a standstill, both teams mounted several attacks at the start of the first half and the match got into a good rhythm with breakaways, shots on goal, and disallowed goals, until the fumes began to die down and they went to the changing rooms in search of oxygen.

In the second half "The Polish Robot", Robert Lewandowski, scored a pair of goals in a span of two minutes, to reassert himself as the season's leader with 14 and take the breath away from the fans in the white stands.

This double, according to Mister Chip statistics, is the fastest (141 seconds) in a Clasico since Fuste scored two goals against Real Madrid in less than 2 minutes on December 19, 1965.

The Mediterranean party continued later, when the talented youngster Lamine Yamal sent the ball into the back of the net with his magic touch and Raphinha followed suit a little later to complete the rout.

After this result, Hansi Flick's Culés widened their gap at the top of the table with 30 points and Carlo Ancelotti's Merengues remain second with 24 points.
