Inaki Pena 8/10
BARCELONA RATINGS: He’s unlikely to stay Barcelona’s ‘keeper for much longer, but great save from Bellingham on 14' – though Madrid’s move was offside. Denied Mbappe three times as Barca opened a six-Show more
Alejandro Balde 8/10
Complained – rightly – to Raphinha when he didn’t pass to him in space in a rare first half chance. But what a night in his manager’s first clasico. Stunning cross for Lewandowski’s headed goal. AP
Inigo Martinez 8/10
Comfortable in the Catalans' extremely high defensive line which caught Madrid offside seven times in the first half – Mbappe was offside in six of them. Madrid were offside 12 times in total, BarceloShow more
Pau Cubarsi 8/10
Confident enough to play Madrid offside in tight circumstances as Barca’s offside trap worked perfectly. No team uses the offside as a weapon like Flick’s side – and they use it decisively. AFP
Jules Kounde 7/10
The right back started slowly and was bullied by Camavinga and Mbappe but then settled and played his part in the Catalans offside masterclass. Booked for a late flip on Vinicius. Getty Images
Marc Casado 7/10
His pass split Madrid defence and found Lewandowski to open the scoring as Madrid’s 42 game unbeaten run came to an end. Booked. Getty Images
Pedri 8/10
Tenacious, winning the ball back – before he went down with a twisted ankle on 23'. Jumped up to shoot on target on 28'. Moved into the more advanced role to replace Fermin for the second half. Then hShow more
Lamine Yamal 8/10
Barca’s first shot on target after 12'. Got the third, a right foot rising finish from a tight angle on 78' – his first clasico goal. Such confidence to try anything at such a young age. Unstoppable. Show more
Fermin Lopez 6/10
Only 16 touches in the first half – low for a central player and he was replaced by De Jong at the break. Missed out on the goal fest: Barcelona’s goal difference is +27, Madrid’s is +10. Barcelona haShow more
Raphinha 8/10
No hat-trick like he did against Bayern but another top performance. Shot well over on 20' when he could have played Balde in. Physically strong, never stopped running – Barca run more under Flick. HeShow more
Robert Lewandowski 9/10
Aged 36, La Liga’s top scorer was tightly marked and had limited service in the first half (just nine touches), but he put his side ahead on 53', staying onside to score from 20 yards – his 13th goal Show more
Frenkie de Jong 7/10
SUBS: De Jong (Fermin, HT). More involved than Fermin as Barca’s confidence grew. An effective sub against Bayern and Madrid – two incredible results for Barcelona. AP
Dani Olmo 8/10
(Casado 64') Needed. Linked better, improved his side. Goalkeeper Pena said that Barcelona should have been weaker in the second half after Wednesday’s efforts. They were stronger. EPAGavi N/A
