Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham set an impressive new ElClasico record, something which club legend Cristiano Ronaldo never achieved.
The England international was named Man of the Match in his Clasico after bagging two goals in a come-from-behind victory over the Catalan giants.
In doing so, the 20-year-old became the first Los Blancos player to score at least two goals on his ElClasico debut in the 21st century.

It's been a tremendous first season in the Spanish capital so far for the English midfielder, who has registered 13 goals in 13 appearances across all competitions.
Los Blancos manager Carlo Ancelotti described Bellingham as the 'difference maker after his heroics.
"Bellingham is like a veteran," Ancelotti told reporters after the match.
"He has a very good attitude. The equalising goal changed the dynamic of the game. It gave us more strength and more energy while it made Barca weaker because until that moment they had played better.
"Bellingham, at the moment, is the difference maker for us. In what position he will be in the Ballon d'Or, I don't know. I didn't know there was a Ballon d'Or taking place on Monday. I don't care much."
