Lewandowski brace helps Barcelona to stunning 4-0 win at Real Madrid 

Barcelona’s Robert Lewandowski scored a quick-fire second-half double to set the leaders on course for a 4-0 thrashing of Real Madrid on Saturday.

Barcelona’s complete display capped a stunning Clasico victory in La Liga for the Blaugranas.

Real were in control of the game from early on but became frustrated as they wasted several clear chances.

This was before Polish striker Lewandowski silenced the Bernabeu crowd with a two-goal blitz after quick counterattacks in the 54th and 56th minutes.
