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>
