First FC Barcelona ruthlessly dismantled the royal team, then the Spanish media.

The professionals from Real Madrid around former world champion Toni Kroos will not be able to shake off the shameful 0: 4 swatter in the local Estadio Santiago Bernabau so quickly.

“Xavi's team is dancing with Ancelotti's.

The Italian's bizarre decisions accelerate White's disaster," wrote the sports newspaper "As" in the direction of Real coach Carlo Ancelotti.

"A choral performance by Xavi's team against a fragile Madrid, unable to hold or win the ball and falling in their own stadium," said Marca.

Four goals in the heart of the Madrilenians.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, once at Borussia Dortmund, gave FC Barcelona the lead in the 29th minute.

Before the break, Ronald Araujo (38') raised the ball, before Ferran Torres (47') shattered the home fans' hopes that the hosts would rebel shortly after the break.

With his second goal (51st), Aubameyang sealed the triumph of the Catalans in the never-ending duel between the two top Spanish clubs.

"A proud evening at the Bernabeau," wrote national goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen on Twitter.

"In the last Clasico under our new coach, we already noticed that we were getting close again," said Barça captain Sergio Busquets.

They lost the game in the Supercup 2:3 after extra time in January and thus conceded the fifth Clásico defeat in a row.

Real Madrid still clearly ahead

"We are developing further," emphasized Busquets now.

FC Barcelona last won 4-0 at Real Madrid in November 2015.

"A total declaration of intent from the Barcelona coach," praised "El Mundo deportivo" the Catalans coach Xavi Hernandez.

Even if Real is aiming for the title in the Spanish championship with 66 points and a clear lead, Ancelotti will have to explain himself after a few tactical measures.

Second in the table is Sevilla FC (57), who had only drawn 0-0 at home against Real Sociedad San Sebastián before Real lost.

FC Barcelona is third, level on points with Atlético Madrid (54).

No consolation for the royals.

"It's sad because defeats in the Clásico always hurt," said Real's Nacho Fernández: "The result says it all."
