Barcelona's 2-1 win in El Clasico confirmed that Real Madrid have a host of serious problems over and above the 12-point gap which has now opened at the top of LaLiga.
The reigning champions' defeat at Camp Nou, even though it was only the length of an eyebrow which ruled Marco Asensio's potentially match-winning goal offside, confirmed that Barca defender Ronald Araujo is living rent-free inside Vinicius Junior's head. The aggregate total when Barca coach Xavi has ordered the 24-year-old centre-back to change position, play at right-back and mark Vinicius, is now: P4, W4, at a score of 11-2.
