Real Madrid 0-4 Barcelona: Guijarro brace sets visitors up for Clasico glory
Patri Guijarro's first half set Barcelona on their way to a thumping 4-0 victory over rivals Real Madrid in Liga F on Saturday.
Claudia Pina and Alexia Putellas were also on target as Barcelona continued their perfect start to the season and extended their lead at the top of the table.
The visitors dominated from the start, as Guijarro broke the deadlock in the fourth minute by tapping in from a Putellas corner.
Cata Coll was forced into a big save to deny Alba Redondo an equalizer soon afterwards, but Madrid's hopes were soon dealt a blow when Guijarro picked out the bottom corner with a superb long-range strike for her second.
Pina consolidated the lead six minutes before half-time, clinically passing Misa with her low goal.
Putellas added some sparkle to the scoreline with four minutes of normal time remaining, beating Madrid's goalkeeper with a sweet thump to pick up her 199th goal for the club.
Barcelona has won all ten games and is now eight points ahead of Madrid, who suffered their first league defeat of the season.
