Barcelona 5 Real Madrid 1
In the abscence of the dynamic lionel messi Luis Suarez stepped up to score a hat-trick in a humiliating El Clasico for Real Madrid and their beleaguered head coach Julen Lopetegui.
The first half was dominated by Barcelona building a two-goal lead by the halftime through Philippe Coutinho and a Suarez penalty awarded by a Video Assistant Referee review.
At the start of the second half madrid pressed for a goal and were rewarded by Marcelo’s goal this briefly raised hopes of a comeback before a Suarez double and Arturo Vidal header sealed the game as the visitors fell apart.
