Mourinho’s Madrid are now unbeaten in their last 36 fixtures in the Spanish capital.
Even more impressively, the "Special One" has bowed out in his final-ever Clasico (unless of course these two teams somehow contrive to meet in the latter stages of the Champions League) with Real producing yet another tactical master class to overcome their La Liga rivals at the Bernabeu for the first time since recording a 4-1 win almost five years ago.
This was also the first home league Clasico victory for either team since November 2010.
Meanwhile, if this is the Portuguese’s last season at the Bernabeu as expected, then he has delivered on his promise when club president Florentino Perez brought him to the club three years ago.
He beat Barcelona.
In this campaign, the two teams have played each other six times. Mourinho’s men have prevailing three times, while the Catalans have only won once.
Which makes Madrid’s lethargy in La Liga all the more surprising and infuriating. However, Mou still won the Super Copa against Barca and knocked them out of the semifinals of the Copa del Rey as well.
Following up Tuesday night’s Copa Clasico win with a Liga Clasico victory just four days later must have felt sweet.
