2015-16 La Liga Real Madrid Vs FC Barcelona '' El Clasico '' Saturday Nov 21,2015

 

 

There were unprecedented security measures in place after the attacks in Paris last week, with nearly 3,000 policemen and private security officers working to maintain public safety at the 81,000-capacity stadium. 

There was a minute of silence in honor of the victims in Paris, and a large French flag was displayed across some of the lower fan sections as the players lined up at midfield before kickoff.

Luis Suarez scored twice and Neymar added a goal and an assist to lead Barcelona to an emphatic 4-0 win over Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu in the first "clasico" of the season on Saturday Nov 21,2015

Luis Suarez and Neymar, meanwhile, continued to improve on their incredible scoring streak — the South American duo has scored 23 of the team's 27 goals since Messi got injured. It was Suarez's seventh and eighth goals in the last five games, and Neymar's sixth in the last four games.

 

The defeat handed hand Madrid their first home loss in 23 Spanish league games while Barcelona opened up a six-point lead in the standings.

FC Barcelona reached 30 points from 12 matches with the victory, while Madrid remained with 24 points

Third-place Atletico, who play at Real Betis on Sunday, are one point behind Madrid, and seven behind Barcelona.

Barcelona played most of the match without Lionel Messi, who came off the bench in the 56th after being sidelined for nearly two months because of a left knee injury.

Real Madrid played the final minutes with 10 men as Francisco Alarcon "Isco" was sent off after a hard foul on Neymar in the 85th.
