Barcelona produced a superb away performance this morning to secure a 3-nil victory over Real Madrid that all but eliminates their arch rivals from the Spanish La Liga title race.
A second‑half Luis Suarez strike and Lionel Messi's penalty helped move Barca nine points clear of Atletico Madrid at the top of La Liga, and increased their advantage over defending champions Real to 14 points.
Late substitute Aleix Vidal added further insult in injury time with a third goal for Barca, as his shot from inside the box squeezed over the line after Messi's cut‑back, despite the Argentine losing his boot in the build‑up to his 200th assist for the club.
Karim Benzema hit the post and Cristiano Ronaldo missed two good chances in the first half for Real Madrid.
It is the first time Barca have won three consecutive away league matches at the Bernabeu, and the result leaves Zinedine Zidane's Real Madrid fourth in the table.
