In a remarkable Clasico match at Camp Nou, Barcelona overwhelmed Jose Mourinho’s Real Madrid with a score of 5-0, as Lionel Messi orchestrated the play, leading the Catalan team to a two-point advantage at the top of the Spanish League.
The Catalans surged to a 2-0 lead within the first 17 minutes, thanks to Spain World Cup stars Xavi and Pedro Rodriguez. In the second half, recent addition David Villa found the net twice in just three minutes, and substitute Jeffren capped off the victory with a late goal after entering the game for the closing moments.
This victory marked Barcelona’s fifth consecutive Clasico triumph over their fiercest rivals, solidifying coach Pep Guardiola’s flawless record against Real.
The outcome was a significant letdown for Mourinho’s team, compounded by the injury of Argentine striker Gonzalo Higuain just before the match began, leading to Frenchman Karim Benzema starting in the front line.
Currently, Real Madrid holds the second position in the league, trailing Barcelona by two points.
Buford Balony says: Tough luck, Jose, who’s the chosen one now? Sucker.
