Top 5 performances by Barcelona since 2010

#4 Real Madrid 0-4 Barcelona (2015)

Real Madrid CF v FC Barcelona - La Liga

In 2015, Messi was sidelined due to injury and was expected to return for the El Clasico in Madrid. The match between the 2 giants is always high-profile and Madrid were in high spirits expecting to win the match as Barca's talisman Messi was not starting the game. Sergi Roberto was chosen to play on the right wing, and this was expected to be the weak spot but the Catalans had planned something else.

Roberto slid past an amazing through ball for Suarez, who finished it beautifully with the outside of his right boot to give Barca the lead in the opening quarter of an hour. Barcelona struck again in the 40th minute by Neymar and this time Iniesta was the creator.

Barcelona were on top of the world with a 2-goal cushion at halftime. Messi was eager to return but his teammates were on fire, in the 53rd minute Neymar returned the favour to Iniesta by a sublime backheel pass and the latter powered it into the right top corner from the edge of the box.

There were no positive signs for Madrid and Messi was brought onto the pitch replacing Rakitic. Around the 75th minute, Barcelona showed excellent passing and Jordi Alba provided the assist to Suarez to make it 4 for the night.

It was an excellent display of pure football from Barcelona.
