Few people remember that the first Clásico between Guardiola and Mourinho was played on a Monday. An atypical day for both Barcelona and Real Madrid. The elections in Catalonia moved the great rivalry to the first day of the week, ten years ago. If you ask the Catalans, it was the happiest day for Barcelona, after 2-6 at the Bernabéu. It was the party of the little hand represented by Gerard Piqué and Víctor Valdés. For the madridistas it was a Black Monday. The first serious tumble of the team that was incubated by the Portuguese Mourinho, before Guardiola's “finished product”.
10 years have already been 5-0 from Barcelona to Real Madrid in the 2010-2011 season. That game had many little stories behind it, in addition to the scandalous results. Starting with the scorers. Xavi and Pedro, in the first half. And Villa's double and Jeffren's final fifth. Messi, who has scored 26 goals for Madrid, did not see the door that night. It was the ecstasy of Guardiola's Barcelona tiqui-taca against a soulless Real Madrid at the Camp Nou. Mourinho betrayed himself and decided to play as some heavyweights in the locker room demanded. With Di María, Özil, Cristiano and Benzema, and leaving Lass Diarra on the bench. Very daring for what he used to do back then. The invention did not last long, since in the break he retracted, the French jumped into the field for the German. “Now we have played as you want, now we will do it as I say “, it seems that he related to his staff in the talk.
“Mourinho go to the theater”
The Camp Nou enjoyed the beautiful hand of Mourinho, more than Madrid, since the Portuguese, cataloged as a villain by Barcelona since the elimination in the Champions League at the hands of Inter (on the 'Night of the Sprinklers'), was the center of the bullseye of public mockery. “Mourinho go to the theater,” they would sing to him. “It's the biggest loss of my career. I never lost 5-0. But it is an easy defeat to digest, because it is a defeat with no possibility of winning. It is not one of those that you get a bad taste in your mouth, “said Mourinho annoyed.

That night, the expulsion of Sergio Ramos for the match's referee, Iturralde González, after a tough and absurd entry to Messi with 5-0 on the scoreboard. That day, the box was occupied by Florentino Pérez, who had returned to the white presidency almost a year and a half earlier. Sandro Rosell was his counterpart at Barcelona.
