MADRID, Nov 18 (Reuters) - Six memorable league matches between Real Madrid
and Barcelona:
1973-74 Real Madrid 0 Barcelona 5
Playmaker Johan Cruyff
revolutionised a Barca team that had not won the league title in 14 years and
led them to a crushing victory at the Bernabeu, a result regarded as Real's most
humiliating defeat in their own stadium.
The Dutchman put his side 2-0
up with a brilliant solo effort. Picking the ball up in his own half, he weaved
around a bemused defence before slotting the ball past keeper Mariano Garcia
Remon from near the penalty spot.
Barcelona won the title with five games to
spare.
1984-85 Real Madrid 0 Barcelona 3
Barca took on a
distinctly British tinge in the mid-1980s with new coach Terry Venables bringing
Scotland striker Steve Archibald and then England's Gary Lineker and Wales's
Mark Hughes to the Nou Camp.
Archibald, or 'Archigoles' as he became
known, got off to a dream start when he scored one goal and had a hand in two
more as Barca claimed an emphatic win at the Bernabeu. They cruised to victory
in the league title race.
Two seasons later Lineker scored a hat-trick in
Barca's 3-2 win over Real at the Nou Camp.
1993-94 Barcelona 5
Real Madrid 0
Mercurial Brazil striker Romario grabbed a hat-trick as
the Catalans, managed by former player Cruyff, crushed Real at the Nou Camp.
Barca were handed their fourth title in a row when Deportivo Coruna defender
Miroslav Djukic missed a last-minute penalty against Valencia in the final match
of the season.
