On this day in 2010, Barcelona smashed Real Madrid 5-0 in a key Clasico clash

In 29th November 2010, Barcelona taught Real Madrid a lesson in football at Camp Nou.

Real Madrid Coach, at that time, Jose Mourinho always said that his side would lose one day but he did not expect to lose like this – not after enjoying the greatest start of any coach in Real Madrid's history. 

His team, so impermeable before, were punctured. Five times. They were sunk. A 5-0 victory for Barcelona was described by the Madrid coach as a "historically bad result" for his club – it was the worst defeat he has suffered in his career.

Before the clash, Mourinho was appointed to help bring a period of Barcelona dominance to an end and re-establish Real as the best team not only in Spain but also in Europe.

But the gulf appeared wider than ever as Barca ran riot courtesy of first-half goals from Xavi and Pedro, a double from David Villa after the interval and a late Jeffren strike, while Sergio Ramos saw red for Real.

Do you have any unforgettable memory of this match?
