Barça Crushes Real Madrid 5-0 in Historic El Clásico
Thirty Years After Romário's Wonder Goal
November 29, 2023
In a stunning display of dominance, FC Barcelona demolished arch-rivals Real Madrid 5-0 in the Spanish La Liga on Wednesday, November 29. It marks the Catalans' most emphatic victory over their bitter rivals in 30 years.
The match got off to an electric start as Barcelona took the lead in the 15th minute through a brilliant strike from Robert Lewandowski. The Polish striker latched onto a through ball from Pedri and fired a low drive into the bottom corner.
Barcelona doubled their advantage just ten minutes later when Ousmane Dembélé curled a sumptuous free-kick past Thibaut Courtois from the edge of the box. Real Madrid struggled to contain Barcelona's attacking prowess, and the hosts extended their lead in the 40th minute through a header from Sergio Busquets.
The second half was a one-sided affair as Barcelona continued to pour forward in search of more goals. They got their fourth in the 60th minute when Raphinha's cross was met by Ferran Torres at the far post. Gavi then sealed the victory with a stunning solo goal in the 75th minute, leaving Courtois helpless in the Real Madrid goal.
The 5-0 defeat is the most emphatic victory for Barcelona in El Clásico since the same scoreline in 1993. It was also a fitting tribute to the legendary Romário, whose wonder goal against Real Madrid 30 years ago remains one of the most iconic moments in football history.
Barcelona's victory extends their unbeaten run in La Liga to nine games and moves them to the top of the table. Real Madrid, meanwhile, suffered their first defeat of the season and drop to second.
