Here are five standout stats from the Uruguayan after Barcelona's unforgettable 5-1 win over Real Madrid.

Sunday's clash between Barcelona and Real Madrid was a memorable game for both the Blaugrana and Luis Suarez. The Catalan giant cruised to a huge win over their arch-rival, with their Uruguayan striker bagging an impressive hat-trick.

The South American ace stepped up in the absence of Lionel Messi, as the Argentine was forced to watch from the stands due to an arm injury. The former Liverpool star rekindled his best form in this crucial game, winning the match ball with his three-goal haul en route to a 5-1 triumph.

The first came in the 30th minute, as he slotted past Thibaut Courtois  from the very first VAR-awarded penalty in El Clasico history. He then added his second and third of the game in the second half, profiting from a defensive error for his final strike.

The 31-year-old reached a number of feats as a result. Here are five impressive stats after Luis' electrifying display.

1. Barcelona's hat-trick club just got bigger

Suarez became the club's eleventh player in history to score a hat-trick against the Catalan giant's bitter rival.

His hat-trick was also the 25th in this fixture's history

2. Luis now averages a goal per game against Los Blancos in La Liga

The Uruguayan has featured in nine Clasicos in the Spanish top-flight. He has now gone on to score nine times in that span. Not bad!

Here is Suarez's overall record in El Clasico

3. Suarez in comparison with Messi and Cristiano

Leo and Ronaldo may be the two greatest players around, but since arriving in Spain, no player has scored more goals in El Clasico than the former Liverpool ace.

4. He broke Messi's 24-year record

Prior to this game, the last Blaugrana player other than Messi to score three goals against the Madrid giant in a single tie was Romario back in 1994. Suarez has now ended La Pulga's monopoly on El Clasico hat-tricks.

5. The South American also ended this less impressive run

Leo and Cristiano had been the only two players to score a penalty in this heated rivalry since May 7, 2008 until Suarez converted from the spot in the first half.
