Real Madrid and Barcelona's biggest victories in Clasico history

El Clasico. It's probably the biggest game in world football each season, and it always throws up some sort of drama.

Be it needless pushing and shoving, theatrics or mesmerising goals, matches involving Real Madrid and Barcelona, two of the biggest clubs in the world, always deliver.

There have been a fair few thrashings over the years, too. Here are the biggest wins for both Real and Barca.

BARCELONA

20. Barcelona 5-1 Real Madrid (2018/19)

Philippe Coutinho's first playing spell at Barcelona didn't go down too well, so it's funny looking back to see he opened the scoring in this thrashing in 2018.

It soon became the Luis Suarez show as the Uruguayan scored a hat-trick, with Arturo Vidal netting late on. Marcelo did get one for Real, but obviously, that wasn't enough.

19. Barcelona 5-1 Real Madrid (1953/54)

Things actually weren't looking good for Barca when Alfredo di Stefano scored in the sixth minute here.

But La Blaugrana didn't panic, responding with two goals from Justo Tejada and further strikes from Cesar Rodriguez, Moreno and Manchon.

All great names, those.

18. Real Madrid 2-6 Barcelona (2008/09)

Fancy trying to deal with a young Lionel Messi, the ever-threatening Thierry Henry and the outrageously good Samuel Eto'o?

No, of course not, and Real Madrid's defenders didn't either on this night in 2009.

Henry and Messi scored two apiece, while centre-back partners Carles Puyol and Gerard Pique also helped themselves as Barça racked up six.

17. Barcelona 5-0 Real Madrid (2010/11)

Lionel Messi hasn't had too many better games than this one, even if he was getting smacked about throughout. The Argentine set two goals up but actually wasn't among the scorers.

Instead, David Villa got two, with Xavi, Pedro and Jeffren also chipping in.

16. Barcelona 5-0 Real Madrid (1993/94)

His Wikipedia page may read similarly to a League Two journeyman, but Romario was brilliant pretty much wherever he went, especially in his one full season at Barcelona.

The Brazil legend scored a hat-trick in this clash, with Ronald Koeman and Ivan Iglesias also cashing in on some lacklustre Real defending.

15. Real Madrid 0-5 Barcelona (1973/74)

This was around the time that Johan Cruyff was strutting his stuff as one of the best players in world, so of course he led Barca to a massive win at Real in 1974.

The Dutchman scored twice that day, with Juan Manuel Asensi joining him with a brace.

14. Barcelona 5-0 Real Madrid (1944/45)

This was a second-half blitz if ever there was one.

Cesar Rodriguez put Barça ahead in the 41st minute and added another just after the break before Jose Bravo, Jose Escola and Jose Gonzalvo added some gloss to the scoreline.

13. Barcelona 5-0 Real Madrid (1934/35)

A massive day out here for Martin Vantolra, who scored four times to lead Barça to an emphatic victory.

Jose Escola also netted that day.

12. Barcelona 6-1 Real Madrid (1956/57)

Eulogio Martinez - a player that performed the 'Cruyff turn' 14 years before the Dutchman - had already racked up seven goals during a single game against Atletico Madrid to start the 1957 Copa del Rey campaign before turning his ire towards the other side from the capital.

A four-goal haul from the Paraguayan fired Barcelona to a thumping second-leg victory against Real in the quarter-finals of what was then known as the Copa del Generalisimo (and later became the Copa del Rey).

11. Barcelona 7-2 Real Madrid (1950/51)

What a truly glorious scoreline for Barça fans.

This historic win was down to the efforts of Mateu Nicolau Gar and Marcos Aurelio, both of whom scored twice, alongside Cesar Rodriguez, Jose Gonzalvo and Basora.

Despite the thumping victory, Barcelona would only finish fourth, with Atletico Madrid topping the 1950/51 table.

REAL MADRID

10. Real Madrid 4-0 Barcelona (1963/64)

As a defender in the olden days, it must have been nightmarish lining up against both Ferenc Puskas and Alfredo di Stefano.

Both scored in this thumping win, with Puskas notching a hat-trick.

9. Real Madrid 4-0 Barcelona (1933/34)

This game was wrapped up by the 50th minute, with Luis Valle, Josep Samitier, Luis Regueiro and Eugenio all scoring.

It was Athletic Club's season, pipping Real to the league title by two points.

8. Barcelona 1-5 Real Madrid (1962/63)

Uh oh, Puskas and Di Stefano are up to their old tricks again...

In this fixture in 1963, the Hungarian legend scored three in a thoroughly one-sided contest.

7. Real Madrid 5-1 Barcelona (1951/52)

These defences, man. Someone should have had a word.

Anyway, Luis Molowny was on top form here, scoring once and setting up another three en route to another 5-1 win.

6. Real Madrid 5-1 Barcelona (1929/30)

You didn't see this game? Really? Why on earth not? Ah yes, because it took place in the year 1930. Fair enough.

Two goals from Gaspar Rubio and three from Jaime Lazcano had Real up 5-0 in the 72nd minute, with Goiburu pulling one back for the visitors.

5. Real Madrid 5-0 Barcelona (1994/95)

Right then, here are a few Real players you might have heard of.

Ivan Zamorano was the main man here, scoring a first-half hat-trick before Luis Enrique and Jose Amavisca netted.

Among the Barca players that day were Ronald Koeman, Pep Guardiola, Gheorge Hagi and Hristo Stoichkov.

Funnily enough, Michael Laudrup had been on the Barca side that beat Real 5-0 one year earlier. At the end of the match, he softly said: "I won 10-0."

4. Real Madrid 5-0 Barcelona (1953/54)

Los Blancos legend Alfredo di Stefano was one of the showstoppers back in 1953, scoring twice in this 5-0 win.

Roque Olsen also netted a brace, with Luis Molowny grabbing the other.

3. Real Madrid 6-1 Barcelona (1949/50)

Striker Pahino helped himself to three goals here as Real went six goals up inside 70 minutes.

Jose Gonzalvo did pull one back late on for Barca, but obviously, it wasn't enough to save an embarrassing defeat.

Neither Real nor Barca would win the title that season - instead, Atletico Madrid helped themselves to their third league crown.

2. Real Madrid 8-2 Barcelona (1934/35)

They might not batter Barcelona by ludicrous scorelines too often nowadays, but on one February night in 1935, Madrid ran riot against their Catalan opposition.

Fernando Sanudo scored four and Jaime Lazcano added another three, with Luis Regueiro making it an even eight.

This was the last time Barcelona had lost 8-2 prior to the humiliating loss to Bayern Munich in the 2019/20 Champions League.

1. Real Madrid 11-1 Barcelona (1942/43)

With Madrid fans whipped into a frenzy by the partisan press after a controversial 3-0 defeat in Barcelona, the second leg of the 1943 Copa del Rey semi-finals was played to a cacophony of whistles handed out pre-match.

Paralysed by the deafening atmosphere, Barcelona's players folded, conceding eight - including six in 15 minutes - before the interval. The scoreboard operator at Charmartin had only taken numbers one to five up the ladder with him. Luckily, he had an 11 on hand by the final whistle.
