FC Barcelona, continuing their winning ways, dominated Real Madrid in the season's first El Clasico on their trip to the Bernabeu. Although the Blaugrana club wasn't completely over the game during the first half, they came stronger in the second half, putting past 4 against the hosts, embarrassing Real Madrid. More importantly, while decisive performances were expected from seasoned stars like Club Captain Raphinha and Robert Lewandowski, the way Barcelona's young prodigies responded in the important matchday, yet again, was commendable. Overall, with a collective brilliant effort, Barca grabbed another 3 points, extending their lead at the tabletop, now 6 points clear of their Clasico rivals.
While every FC Barcelona player stood crucial in the club's overall performance, some just stood a level apart above others, making this 4-0 win look much more comfortable for the Blaugrana club. On that note, here is a look at the 3 FC Barcelona stars who stood out in the club's 4-0 victory over Real Madrid:
Robert Lewandowski
One of the biggest positives for FC Barcelona this season has been the return of superstar forward Robert Lewandowski to his very best. Being one of the greatest strikers in the modern generation, the Polish legend delivered it once again, when much was expected from him, on an important matchday like the El Clasico.
In the 54th minute, off a brilliant through ball from prodigy pivot Marc Casado, Lewandowski, with a calm, composed finish, broke the deadlock, giving Barca the much-needed lead. Moments later, the star number 9 completed his brace off a spectacular cross from Balde, which was perfectly placed by Lewandowski past Lunin. Already on 12 goals in this La Liga campaign, the Polish legend moved on to 14, delivering a MOTM performance in the season's first El Clasico.
