BARCELONA, Nov 30 Jose Mourinho had a nightmare first Clasico as champions Barcelona crushed his Real Madrid side 5-0 at Camp Nou on Monday to go two points clear of their bitter rivals at the top of the Spanish first division.

Xavi and Pedro Rodriguez put Barcelona into a two-goal lead after just 17 minutes and David Villa marked his first Clasico with a brace inside two minutes (54 min, 56) before Jeffren added a late fifth as Mourinho stomached an unforgettable first defeat in charge of Real.

For Barcelona it was a fifth successive Clasico win over their archrivals as coach Pep Guardiola maintained his 100 per cent record in the fixture and exacted revenge over Mourinho, whose Inter Milan defeated Barcelona in last season's Champions League semis. It was a huge psychological win for Barca in the title race and the omens are good with the winners of the first Clasico going on to be crowned champions in the last six seasons.—AFP
