The most recent Barcelona-Real Madrid match in La Liga sent Catalan club fans in jubilation while Los Blancos were left with a. . . well, blank face.
Luis Suarez lead Barcelona's attack with two goals, Neymar added one, and Andres Iniesta provided one more to record a 4-0 win at Bernabeu, their second straight against the Cristiano Ronaldo-led squad.
The game also saw the return of Lionel Messi who has been out for two months. He replaced Ivan Rakitic in the second half.
Barca dominated the whole match despite it being held in Bernabue. This is something manager Luis Enrique is proud of regarding the victory against the team he describes as their 'eternal rivals.'
"This tastes of sacred glory, a win at eternal rival," Luis Enrique said. "Above all for the way we did it. You can win at the Bernabeu, but by being so superior, against such good players, is difficult.
"Throughout the game we did what we had wanted to do, and it came out well. It was a very complete performance, very important for us to win here. It will go down into history as a memorable game for all Barca fans."

Some reporters think it was not Barcelona's strength than won them but Real Madrid's weakness. Enrique would not buy any of that.
"I did not see it like that," he said. "In no moment did I see Madrid having given up. We were better than then, and able to generate superiority in many areas of the pitch.
"We were superior, but that is to our credit, not their discredit. After the first goal, we controlled the game, with possession in midfield and had many chances."
Aside from the guys that scored, Enrique also heaped praises for Sergio Roberto who he calls the 'wild card' of the team.
"[Sergi Roberto's] the wildcard of the team," he told reporters after the El Clasico match.
"He can play in any position, doesn't lose the ball, has quality, drive, good movement and physicality. He can become a great player. He perfectly understood what was asked of him, always finding space."
Barcelona-Real Madrid rivalry will resume on April 3 next year when Rafa Benitez and his squad visit Camp Nou.
