Ronald Araujo doubled Barcelona's lead as the 3rd placed team in La Liga points table surged ahead and went to the halftime break with a 2 goal cushion.

Aubameyang wasn't done yet as he returned once again in the 2nd half to haunt the hosts and scored his 2nd of the night to give Barcelona a commanding 4-0 win. The clinical win was the first for Barcelona against Real Madrid since 2019 as Xavi's re-born side showed glimpses of a possible renaissance under the former club legend.

Despite the loss, Real Madrid still has a 9 point advantage over 2nd placed Sevilla & 12 over 3rd placed Barcelona.
