Barcelona 5-1 Real Madrid: 5 Hits and Flops

#2 Hit: Jordi Alba

Alba battling for possession with Real's Lucas Vazquez during a memorable display

On another day, Alba would've been my Man of the Match - but you cannot legislate for someone like Suárez's individual brilliance during a game of this magnitude. He's been in great form to start the campaign in a similar vein to last season and impressed again.

Although questions have been asked of his one-on-one defending against top sides, he essentially answered those critics on this occasion with an assured display here, keeping the likes of Gareth Bale and substitute Lucas Vazquez isolated whenever they pushed forward.

Made the visitors pay for granting him acres of space to run into during the build-up to Coutinho's opener - his drilled pass into the danger area was too enticing, the Brazilian couldn't miss.

Defensively astute despite a few nervy moments in possession when Real earned a foothold, his blistering runs forward were one issue too many for Lopetegui's side to contend with.
