#4 Real Madrid 0-4 Barcelona – La Liga, November 21st, 2015

The straw that broke the camel’s back. The game that finally saw Florentino Perez lose patience with Rafael Benitez just four months after employing him.
Another game at the Bernabeu where the visitors were absolutely in a class of their own – and one where Lionel Messi didn’t start. The manner of their dominance meant that the result was never in doubt and it was another game where a 4-0 scoreline actually flattered the hosts.
Luis Suarez gave Barca the lead with an expertly taken outside-of-the-boot finish before Neymar, after a pinpoint Andres Iniesta pass, slotted the ball under Keylor Navas.
Iniesta then provided the moment of the match, rifling in an unstoppable, rising shot into the roof of the net. It was made possible by a delicate back-heel from Neymar who was enjoying one of his best games in the Blaugrana since joining in 2013.
Trying to play the offside trap with 15 minutes to go, Madrid were left stunned as Messi delivered a first time ball to Suarez, taking out the entire Real defence. A lovely dinked finish ended the scoring and Real’s pre-match crowing at home that they would topple the Catalans from their perch.
