BARCELONA: Barcelona ran rebel within the Clasico on Sunday as Luis Suarez scored the hat-trick that can indubitably spell the end of Julen Lopetegui's spell as Real Madrid trainer.
Barcelona have been 5-1 winners on the Camp Nou, dominant for all-but a 15-minute spell after half-time when the another way hapless Madrid briefly threatened a comeback.
All the disasters that experience underlined their contemporary issues beneath Lopetegui have been on show here, deficient completing, dreadful defending and key avid gamers performing well under par, let alone their very best.
Philippe Coutinho scored the first and Arturo Vidal the last but in between the sport belonged to Suarez, who terrorised Madrid from begin to end and made mild of Lionel Messi's injury-enforced absence.
For Lopetegui, it is now one win in six video games, as Madrid fall seven points behind Barcelona, who return to the top of the table.
This defeat was paying homage to the 4-Zero thrashing that spelt the end of Rafael Benitez's time in charge two years ago but whilst Benitez survived two more months, Lopetegui won't last the week.
Much was made of this being the first Clasico without either Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo in 11 years but Suarez's masterclass will imply this contest lives lengthy within the memory.
Madrid seemed dazed in ownership and dizzy out of it as Barca many times opened them up down the left early on.
Sergio Busquets was allowed time to watch for Jordi Alba's zooming run previous each Gareth Bale and Nacho, with the full-back's contact at the run completely driven into the area.
Suarez rushed previous but Coutinho held his ground by the penalty spot, the place Alba discovered him with the cut-back. It was the transfer's 30th pass, essentially the most for a function in a La Liga Clasico in 13 seasons.
On the touchline, Lopetegui stood immobile. Varane clapped but his team-mates seemed shell-shocked. Sergio Ramos thrashed a pass throughout his personal field to Nacho, who hacked it to the ft of Arthur, his shot parried away by Courtois.
Still, Barca needed the assistance of VAR for the second one. Suarez was too quick to the ball on the close to submit and Varane bundled him over. It was a transparent penalty, which Suarez transformed for his seventh function in 11 video games against those warring parties. His 8th and 9th have been still to return.
Gerard Pique must have headed in whilst a promising Madrid free-kick someway ended with some other Barca sprawl at the counter-attack. The guests have been lucky to be simplest two down at half-time but the sport was a mirror image after the restart.
Varane had long gone off, with a muscle problem the membership said, for Lucas Vazquez, with Nacho shifting to centre-back. Vazquez was key to Madrid's function, his disguised pass permitting Isco to select Marcelo, who finished for his third in three video games.
Suddenly, it was Barca making the mistakes. Sergio Ramos headed over, Luka Modric hit the inside of the submit and Isco's end was blocked after Rafinha ran into bother.
Madrid have been much less reworked on the again, the place Suarez acrobatically volleyed onto the submit sooner than Alba fired simply wide. As Madrid's momentum faded, Suarez landed the knock-out blow.
Sergi Roberto chipped a cross into the field but the ball had neither the pace nor the angle to be headed in easily. Suarez, however, generated each himself to go away Courtois stranded.
If that was a masterclass in adaptation, his third was a demonstration of finesse. Ramos was driven off the ball by Sergi Roberto, who freed Suarez. Suarez feathered the ball over Courtois for his hat-trick.
Madrid have been finished but the humiliation was no longer over but as Ousmane Dembele crossed for Vidal to move house a 5th. Suarez could also have had a fourth in injury-time but Courtois stored. Five was more than sufficient.
