Xavi Hernandez and Pedro Rodriguez put the defending champion 2-0 ahead inside 18 minutes before Villa scored a second-half brace.

Substitute Jeffren Suarez scored in the 90th to seal it in front of nearly 100,000 fans at the Camp Nou stadium.

Barcelona’s speed and quick-touch passing game frustrated Madrid throughout as it recorded its biggest national derby victory since a 5-0 win here during the 1993-94 season.

A miserable night for Madrid was compounded in the final seconds when Sergio Ramos was sent off for shoving Lionel Messi as the visiting side’s frustrations boiled over.
