Lewandowski scores brace as Barca thrash Real Madrid in Clasico
The win lifts Barca six points clear of Real Madrid at the top of La Liga and also means Real Madrid's run of 42 La Liga games without defeat comes to an end, reports Xinhua.
FC Barcelona has said that midfielders Sergi Roberto and Andre Gomes are set to be sidelined for weeks after getting hurt during this week’s Champions League match.
Roberto suffered a hamstring injury and Gomes hurt his thigh during Tuesday’s 0-0 draw with Olympiacos in Athens, reports Efe news agency.

The 25-year-old Roberto had to be substituted in the first half after being injured vying for the ball with an Olympiacos player, while Gomes was forced to leave the field in the last minutes.
Both are set to miss Barca’s next La Liga game against Sevilla, before the international break.
After the break, Barcelona is scheduled to face Leganes and Valencia in the La Liga, Murcia in the Copa del Rey and Juventus in the Champions League.
