The Blaugrana, inspired by a brilliant performance from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, dominated the game from start to finish. The Gabonese striker opened the scoring with a clinical finish in the 29th minute, before adding a second just 10 minutes later. Real Madrid, who were expected to be competitive on their home turf, looked disjointed and out of sorts. Their defense was repeatedly exposed by Barcelona’s quick and incisive passing, led by the masterful Pedri. In the second half, the visitors continued to pile on the pressure. Ousmane Dembele made it 3-0 with a sublime solo goal in the 51st minute, before Ferran Torres netted a fourth just seconds after coming on as a substitute. Madrid finally managed a consolation goal through Karim Benzema in the 90th minute, but it was too little too late. In the dying moments, Aubameyang completed his hat-trick with a stunning lob that sealed Barcelona’s emphatic victory. The result sends shockwaves through the football world and leaves Barcelona firmly in the driving seat in La Liga. Real Madrid, on the other hand, will need to regroup and find a way to bounce back from this humiliating defeat. Aubameyang, who was acquired from Arsenal in January, was named Man of the Match for his outstanding performance. The Gabonese striker has now scored nine goals in just 11 appearances for Barcelona and looks like a bargain at the reported fee of €10 million. The victory in the Bernabeu is a major boost for Barcelona’s title hopes. They now move 12 points clear of Real Madrid at the top of the table, with just 12 games remaining. It would take a monumental collapse for them to surrender their advantage now. For Real Madrid, the defeat is a major setback. The reigning La Liga champions will need to pick themselves up and find a way to recover their form if they want to have any chance of defending their title.
