Champions Barcelona inflicted a humiliating 5-0 reality shock to Jose Mourinho's Real Madrid, befuddling them with a sublime "tiki-taka" one-touch passing game, Spain's press said Tuesday.
"Reality shock," headlined the Catalan daily El Periodico.
"5-0 - Barca humiliates Real Madrid with showpiece game," gloated fellow Catalan daily La Vanguardia alongside a photo of striker David Villa celebrating one of his two goals.
Leading daily El Pais said league champions Barca "humiliated Real Madrid with a demonstration game", to go two points clear of their arch rivals at the top of the Spanish first division.
