Real Madrid midfielder Luka Modric has however insisted that the capital club are unconcerned with their rivals troubles.
Karim Benzema handed Real all three points with a brace as their toppled Barcelona at the top of the table.
Modric said the results of Luis Enrique’s team mattered little to Real, but the Croatian was shocked by the severity of the beating Luis Enrique’s side took.
“We have to look ourselves and not be worried for other teams,” he said.
“But we were a little bit surprised by the Barcelona defeat.”
Modric was full of praise for Benzema who had been linked with a move away from Madird but has stayed and is proving to be a wise decision.
“Karim is a great player, incredible. He is among the two or three best in the world,” Modric said.
“We are lucky to have him in our team.”
Modric also talked up his international team-mate Mateo Kovacic, who played 89 minutes in the win.
“Kovacic was incredible, very good. He was very happy and very tired,” he said.
