Barcelona have opened up an incredible 4-0 lead in their high stakes El Clasico clash at Real Madrid thanks to a brace from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
La Blaugrana are on course to break their five game La Liga losing streak against Los Blancos in the Spanish capital with their highest El Clasico score line since 2018.
Aubameyang got the ball rolling on the half hour mark for the visitors as he nodded home Ousmane Dembele’s superb cross before the Frenchman’s corner was powered home by Ronald Araujo.

That goal effectively killed off any chance of a revival from the home side as Aubameyang made it four before the hour mark with an outrageous chip.
Three points in Madrid will now lift Barcelona up to third in the table with a game in hand on their rivals.
