What a time to score your first goal of the season. And how.<a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///liga/players/1120" href="http://www.thescore.com/liga/players/1120">Andres Iniesta</a>, known more for his mind-bending skill as a playmaker than as a goalscorer, reminded everyone that he can still find the back of the net, firing home an absolute laser beam after a brilliant bit of interplay with <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///liga/players/14263" href="http://www.thescore.com/liga/players/14263">Neymar</a>, and giving <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///liga/teams/37" href="http://www.thescore.com/liga/teams/37">Barcelona</a> a 3-0 lead in the process to silence a stunned Santiago Bernabeu.<figure><a class="embedly-card" href="https://streamable.com/90ih">Streamable - simple video sharing</a>
<script async src="https://cdn.embedly.com/widgets/platform.js" charset="UTF-8"></script></figure>Somebody other than Neymar or <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///epl/players/4433" href="http://www.thescore.com/epl/players/4433">Luis Suarez</a> scored.

The football world came to a stop for 90 minutes on Saturday, as Spanish juggernauts <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///liga/teams/44" href="http://www.thescore.com/liga/teams/44">Real Madrid</a> and <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///liga/teams/37" href="http://www.thescore.com/liga/teams/37">Barcelona</a>, whose mutual hatred has roots that run far deeper than the action on the pitch, renewed their unparalleled hostilities in the latest installment of El Clasico.Billed as an encounter between two giants, it ended up being a horribly one-sided contest, as the Blaugrana left the home fans jeering their own team at the final whistle, hammering Los Blancos 4-0.Here's everything you need to know about the 231st edition of football's eternal rivalry:<div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div>PRE-MATCH INJURY WATCH<ul>
