Lionel Messi's injury and Cristiano Ronaldo's departure to Juventus meant that Barcelona and Real Madrid took to the field in October 2018 to dispute an El Clasico without one of the pair for the first time in over a decade.

However, despite the absence of he legendary duo, somethings remained the same and Barcelona thrashed Real Madrid yet again, with Luis Suarez the star of the show with a hat-trick while Philippe Coutinho and Arturo Vidal also got in on the act.

Marcelo scored for Real Madrid to make it 2-1 but the defeat left a bitter taste in Real Madrid's mouth and it did not come as a surprise when Julen Lopetegui was sacked in the immediate aftermath of the match, having taken charge of just 14 games in the Los Blancos dugout.
