Being destroyed by your most hated opponent, at your own stadium, and in front of an angry crowd, could be a bad combination for Rafa Benitez. All week long, reports claimed that his term as Los Blancos' coach could end soon if Barcelona was able to defeat them fair and square. Following today's result, those rumors might be right.
A brace by Luis Suárez, one more by Neymar and a wonderful strike by Andrés Iniesta made it 4-0 for Barcelona, and it seemed like Los Blaugranas could have scored a couple more, but they decided to take it easy against their most hated opponent.
Benitez controversial decisions were heavily criticized. First off, starting Gareth Bale, Karim Benzema and James Rodriguez. Next, substituting James Rodriguez to give way for Isco, who has shown poor form all season long, and finally, not reacting to the game's actions.
Of course, fans made him responsible for such a thrashing. Here are some of the most cruel jokes about his future and today's game.

Who in their right mind would ever sack Carlo Ancelotti for Rafa Benitez.

Imagine sacking Carlo Ancelotti for Rafa Benitez. Like going from Sir Alex Ferguson to David Moyes. Only Florentino Pérez.
