REAL MADRID PLAYER RATINGS: Thibaut Courtois – 5. A bad night at the office as Courtois shipped four goals in one of Real Madrid’s worst classicos for some time. Could have been much worse without him. AP
Dani Carvajal – 2. A poor display and as a result was replaced by Carlo Ancelotti at halftime. EPA
Eder Militao 4 – Started brightly but got worse as the game went on with a collection of errors on and off the ball. Reuters
David Alaba – 5. Arguably his worst performance this season. Nervy at times and was at fault for more than one goal. EPA
Nacho – 4. Struggled to cope with Ousmane Dembele on a defensive night to forget for Nacho. Getty Images
Luka Modric – 5. Had to drop too deep just to get touches of the ball. Not as influential as he would've liked. AFP
Casemiro – 5. Although he got a couple of defensive stops, he was too poor in possession as the anchor in midfield. EPA
Toni Kroos – 4. Struggled to get into the game and was chasing Barcelona shadows. Subbed at halftime. AP
Federico Valverde – 6. Best of the worst. Nearly scored and assisted a couple of goals. Never stopped trying. AP
Vinicius Jr – 5. Started well but faded quickly. Had a chance to score but took a dive instead for absolutely no reason. Getty Images
Rodrygo – 4. Poor decision making and minimal contribution in both attack and defence. Overwhelmed by the occasion. AFP
SUBS: Eduardo Camavinga (Kroos 46’) – 6. Didn't offer anything different to Toni Kroos, often committing cheap fouls that allowed Barcelona to slow down the play. Needed to do more defensively. AFP
Mariano Diaz (Carvajal 47) – 5. Fairly anonymous despite coming on a the break, Real Madrid's attack just couldn't get anything going as Xavi Hernandez' side took control of the game. AFP
Lucas Vazquez (Nacho 68) – 6. Took care of the ball and tried to get something going but it was a big ask with the game already heavily in Barcelona's favour. AFP
BARCELONA PLAYER RATINGS: Marc-Andre Ter Stegen – 7. Played the ball out short almost all the time. Sixth minutes save from Valverde. Stopped Vinicius in a rare Madrid attack as Barca ended Madrid’s run of five consecutive clasico wins. His opposite was far busier, but good save on 79. EPA
Ronald Araujo – 9. Scored the second after 37 minutes, a header. Full of confidence, full of energy. He tried to knock the ball around an opponent on the wing at one, then came centrally to end a Madrid attack. Getty Images
Gerard Pique – 8. Blocked a 19th minute Carvajal shot. Started the move which led to the opener. His long ball to Torres set up the fourth. Jeered by home fans. Loved it as his side were 4-0 up after 51 minutes. EPA
Eric Garcia – 8. Knocked the ball forward, usually to Pedri. Stopped Valverde in a rare Madrid attack after they’d gone 4-0 down. Growing in confidence. AP
Jordi Alba – 8. Smashed in a challenge in the opening seconds. Crossed for Aubameyang on 58 when Barca should have made it 5-0. Booked for a challenge on Vinicius – for which he apologised. More touches than any player on the pitch. AFP
Sergio Busquets – 9. Progressive start – as it was for his team. Booked for a pull on Militao. Stopped Vinicius in a 60th minute attack. Excellent overall from the veteran. “We wanted to dominate and we could have scored many more goals,” he said. “We’ve been having lots more of the ball and control of the games with our coach”. Reuters
Pedri – 9. So skilful and chipped a ball forward over the defenders to Torres for his goal. Controlled the pace of the game from the middle. He’s 19. Spectacular. EPA
Frenkie De Jong – 8. Booked for a 25th minute foul on Kroos. Set up Aubameyang, played a part in Pedri’s goal, too. Some beautiful passing movements. Getty Images
Ousmane Dembele – 9. Right in a high press and lost possession to Kroos to set up a 7th minute attack. Drew a save from Courtois on 13. Perfect cross for Aubameyang for the opener. And the perfect corner for the second goal. Involved in the third, too. Started to lose the ball more in the second half and was brought off after 79. EPA
Ferran Torres – 8. Hit the ball high and over in the first attack of the game. Beat Carvajal to set up Aubameyang. Curled a 17th minute shot just wide. Scored the third straight after half time, sweeping the ball in against a side who looked lost. Set up the fourth after 51 minutes. Powerful shot that was saved by the excellent Courtois on 64. Six shots in his best Barca game. AFP
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang – 9. First clasico and what a night for him. Forced a save from Courtois on 13. Put Barça ahead on 29, heading in Dembele’s cross. Almost made it two, set up the third, then scored the fourth. One of the greatest nights of his life. Should have made it 5-0 on 58. AP
SUBS: Gavi (De Jong 70’) – 7. Neat and cool headed, which is what his boss Xavi demanded. Some nice skills. AFP
Memphis Depay (Aubameyang 70’) – 7. Straight into the attack and forced a save from Courtois on 78. EPA
Adama Traore (Dembele 80’) – 7. Went right with instruction not to lose the ball as Dembele was doing. Disciplined. AFP
Nico Gonzalez (Pedri 85’) – N/A. Two fouls with his first two touches. Then a third foul with his fourth touch. Getty Images
Dani Alaves (Alba 85’) – N/A. AP
