El Clasico: Records and milestones from Barcelona's 3-0 win over Real Madrid

It was yet another win for Barcelona in La Liga this season as they beat Real Madrid 3-0 at the Santiago Bernabeu. As the team head into the winter break, it is the Catalan club's fans who will be celebrating a merry Christmas while the Blancos will be doing some soul searching after another humiliating loss.

Luis Suarez, Lionel Messi, and Aleix Vidal got on the scoresheet for the visitors while Zinedine Zidane was forced into unplanned substitutions following Dani Carvajal's red card for a deliberate handball.

Here are the major stats, records, and milestones from another memorable Clasico.
