Watch: Alba Sends Modric Back To Dinamo Zagreb With Insane Skill

Barcelona thrashed Real Madrid 3-0 on their own patch, which included a record-breaking goal from Lionel Messi not to mention a filthy piece of skill from Jordi Alba.

The Catalan giants were seeking to extend their lead at the top of the La Liga with a victory, and they secured all three points courtesy of Luis Suarez, Messi and Aleix Vidal.

Cristiano Ronaldo had the chance to make it 1-0 before Suarez eventually opened the scoring, but he had a nightmare, fluffing his chance.

He wasn't the only player to be on the wrong end of savagery.

Luka Modric was subject to an insane nutmeg from Alba who flicked the ball through his legs in stunning fashion.

Ouch.

But lovely from the Barcelona full-back.

Goes without saying, the Barcelona fans loved it.

Meanwhile, Barcelona cement their position at the summit of the La Liga by moving nine points clear of nearest rivals, Atletico Madrid.

And a huge 14 points ahead of defending Spanish champions, Real Madrid.

Will Real Madrid catch them?
