Video: Real Madrid bench laughs at Barcelona's 4-1 loss to Celta Vigo

Iago Aspas scored 2 goals in the drubbing of Barcelona

Barcelona who suffered a 4-1 shock loss against Celta Vigo, would look to fare better in their next tie. The score line raised some eyebrows and even some smiles on the Real Madrid bench.

Real, who rallied hard to beat Athletic Bilbao 2 -1, were pleased by the Barca loss, as the result lifted them to the top place in the league with Celta Vigo close on their heels after the fifth week in the league. Vigo and Real have both won four games and drawn one, but Madrid are higher on goal difference with just one goal being scored against them.

Two goals from Iago Aspas and strikes from Nolito and substitute John Guidetti made Neymar's first-half goal an irrelevance as Barca's perfect start to the season came to an abrupt end.

Barca Midfielder Sergio Busquets felt the result was a harsh one for the Catalans and felt they performed a lot better in the first half, "After a result like that, the team feels bad," he said. "Even though we do think that we lost by a much bigger margin than we deserved to, we were better than them in the first half. We were more intense. But they scored goals at key moments."

When Madrid were leading 2-1, the giant screen had the Barca- Vigo score line and it evoked some laughter from the Real bench especially from Casemiro and Nacho. Real’s outing in Vigo this year back in April was a delightful one for Los Blancos as they comfortably won the fixture by a scoreline of 4-2.
