Xavi,  FC Barcelona head coach

In just 134 days, Xavi Hernandez i Creus, better known as Xavi, managed to present a Barcelona from the past. The Barcelona team was something ... unreal. In the derby against Real Madrid and in fact in the majestic "Santiago Bernabeu" Barcelona was presented completely different from what its fans saw at the beginning of the season with Ronald Koeman. Her impressive away success with 4-0 over the "merenges" caused a sensation all over the world.


Barcelona from the past, crushed Real Madrid with all the meaning of the word with the emphatic 4-0 at the "Bernabeu", forcing the "Queen" to its most "heavy" defeat this year!


The night that the "merenges" lined up with the anniversary jersey for the 120 years since their founding (6/3/1902) and without their big "cannon", Karim Benzema, "Barça" took care to "spoil" them in the most emphatic way, whatever desire they had in mind for ... celebrations.


What if Real came from 5 consecutive wins and 6 in total in Clasico in all competitions. What if before the game she was at -15 from her opponent and La Liga champion. What if she was undefeated this year in her "home" for 14 games!


Barcelona has confirmed to the public that since Xavi took over it has changed ... gears at all levels. And the time is not far away when she will become a protagonist again inside and outside the borders.




With Obamayang having by far his best game since joining the Catalans, Barcelona led 2-0 in the first half with goals from Gabonese for 29 ΄ and Uruguayan defender Araούjo for 38 ΄. To "clear" the game at the beginning of the second half with the goal of Ferran Torres at 47 ΄ (from an assist by Obameyang) and the second personal goal of the latter at 53 ΄.


The 5th consecutive victory was already a "finished case" for the guests, who reached the 12 consecutive matches without defeat and with fewer matches have the "upper hand" to win the 2nd place.


On the occasion of the extremely impressive dominance of the Catalans, we will remind you of the great victories achieved by Barcelona and Real Madrid in the La Liga derby. After all, it was not the first time that a large victory was recorded in a derby. To be precise, it was the 22nd time that one of the two "gladiators" crushed his opponent with more than four goals difference.


It should be noted that in the 21st century, this phenomenon has occurred four times and all the great victories belong to Barcelona.


In the distant 1935 Real Madrid had prevailed with 8-2 ​​of Barcelona and until now remains the match with the biggest difference. It is also the match with the most goals a team has scored.


Barcelona's biggest victory came in 1950 when they won 7-2 at the Camp Nou. Most of the goals scored by the Catalans at the Santiago Bernabeu were in 2009 when they were imposed with 2-6, while the biggest victory of Barcelona was in 1974 when they had won 5-0.


Finally, the most impressive game in the history of El Clasico was in 1943 when at the Camp Nou, Barcelona and Real Madrid were drawn 5-5!.
