Full video highlights and results from El Clasico between Real Madrid and Barcelona.
This game was supposed to be a competitive clash between the two teams at the top of the La Liga table. It was all Barcelona basically from the jump, even with Lionel Messi, who was returning from injury, starting on the bench.
Luis Suarez opened the scoring with a goal in the 11th minute and the Catalan side never let up the pressure. Andres Iniesta was brilliant with passes to the forward line, even finding Neymar for a goal on a shorter pass at the end of the first half.
Neymar returned the favor by setting up an Iniesta golazo with a backheel pass early in the second half to take a 3-0 lead.
Despite the wide margin, Barcelona still substituted Messi onto the pitch instead of resting him further.
James Rodriguez was brilliant for Real Madrid and nearly had two goals, but he left the game early picking up a knock.
Cristiano Ronaldo was relatively quiet until the second half when he got in on goal, Claudio Bravo making an incredible save.
Barcelona kept attacking and pouring it on, Suarez finding the back of the net to extend the lead to 4-0. It was a similar player on goalkeeper that Ronaldo had just faced, Suarez getting the better of Keylor Navas.
Neymar started getting the frustrations of the Real Madrid team. Two hard fouls on Neymar resulted in a yellow card for Carvajal in the 83rd minute and a red card for Isco in the 84th minute.
Neymar almost got a second assist in the final minutes of the game, but the redirect from Munir went wide.
Ronaldo got another shot on goal from right in front, but Bravo once again made another remarkable save to keep the shutout intact.
