The semi-final tie between Barcelona and Real Madrid is now in the past, but it will be remembered fondly by those involved in this huge win for the Spanish capital side.
Los Merengues made it past their bitter rivals with an emphatic display, and their four-nil win at Camp Nou also helped them end quite a long-standing hoodoo when it came to scoring more than three goals in any edition of El Clásico.
According to stats that emerged right after the game, Real Madrid have ended a 15-year wait to score four goals against their bitter rivals across all competitions. To top it all, Los Merengues have managed to score four times at Camp Nou for the first time since the 1960s.
4 - Real Madrid have scored at least four goals against Barcelona in any competition for the first time since May 2008 (4-1 in LaLiga), and had not done so at Camp Nou since January 1963 (1-5 in LaLiga).

Thanks to their performance this evening, led by Karim Benzema and Vinicius, the team led by Carlo Ancelotti will face Osasuna in the Copa del Rey final against Osasuna, but more importantly, the team will have enough reasons to believe in winning the title in the UEFA Champions League and in this competition thanks to the ego boost provided by such an emphatic display.
