Barcelona Humiliate Real Madrid 5-0 in El Clasico Rout
Madrid's Historic Low
Match Summary
In a match that will live long in the memory of football fans, Barcelona handed Real Madrid a historic 5-0 thrashing at the Spotify Camp Nou on November 29, 2010. The victory marked Barcelona's biggest win over their arch-rivals in La Liga history.
The match started brightly for Barcelona, who took the lead just 10 minutes into the game. Andrés Iniesta played a perfectly weighted pass into the path of Xavi, who calmly slotted the ball past Iker Casillas. Barcelona continued to dominate possession and create chances, with Lionel Messi coming close on several occasions.
Real Madrid struggled to keep pace with Barcelona's pace and intensity, and their defense was repeatedly exposed. In the 23rd minute, Messi doubled Barcelona's lead with a stunning strike from outside the area. The Argentine maestro then turned provider for the third goal, setting up Gerard Piqué to head home from a corner in the 45th minute.
The second half was more of the same, with Real Madrid unable to find a way back into the game. Barcelona continued to press forward and added two more goals late on. Pedro Rodriguez made it 4-0 in the 83rd minute, before Jeffren Suarez completed the rout with a fifth goal in the dying minutes.
Real Madrid's coach, Jose Mourinho, was understandably disappointed with the result, describing it as a "historically bad" night for his club.
