“Barca destroys Madrid”: Xavi’s Barcelona thrashes helpless Real Madrid 4-0 in El Clasico

Barcelona gains an emphatic win against Real Madrid for the first time since 2019. The Sunday game at Bernabeu stadium witnessed a crushing defeat for Real Madrid and the Barcas rising from their ashes under Xavi’s command.

The packed Santiago Bernabeu Stadium watched silently as Barcelona dominated the game from the start. The change in gameplay and formations under Xavi Hernandez’s command was obvious as the much improved Barcelona swiftly took the win.

Torres returned the favour to Aubameyang, creating a subtle opportunity towards his second goal of the game.
