Real Madrid vs. Barcelona player ratings as Barcelona humiliate Madrid 4-0 in Clasico » FirstSportz
Real Madrid vs Barcelona: Madrid hosted Barcelona in Round 29 of La Liga at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Barcelona looked on the better side from the start. Carlo Ancelotti adjusted Madrid’s formation to cope with Karim Benzema’s absence but it backfired as the players were unclear on their roles and looked confused in the middle. Barcelona, on the other hand, have been clinical in their efforts. Aubameyang scored twice, Torres and Araujo both scored to give the Catalans a comfortable win over their arch-rivals.
Let’s take a look at the player ratings for El Clasico:-
