Real Madrid were thoroughly pulverised on Saturday as they fell 4-0 to Barcelona in the first El Clasico of the Liga BBVA campaign.
A Luis Suarez brace and efforts from Neymar and Andres Iniesta condemned Los Merengues to a humiliating home defeat and heaped the pressure on under-fire boss Rafael Benitez.
But who’s to blame for a cataclysmic loss which is sure to have far-reaching repercussions? Here are the Real Madrid Player Ratings following a horrible evening in the Spanish capital.

Keylor Navas: 5/10
It’s no wonder David De Gea was so sought-after following this disastrous performance from the Costa Rica No. 1, who undid weeks of good work with an atrocious showing.
Marcelo: 6.5/10
Perhaps Real’s best defensive performer…which isn’t something we’re accustomed to saying. Made a fine clearance before the break, and he was far less exposed than some of his teammates.
Sergio Ramos: 6/10
Admittedly, perhaps Ramos deserves praise for taking injections to play through the pain barrier and feature, but it’s hard to overlook his glaring error for Suarez’s opener.
