(1) Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang:
The Gabonese has amazing form for Barcelona since he joined the Catalonia club from Arsenal during the January transfer window. He scored two goals in the game which gave Barcelona alot of confidence in the game. This is the fifth straight game he has scored against Real Madrid.

The dominance of Real Madrid in the El Classico came to the end at the seventh try after winning the game against Barcelona for six consecutive seasons.
(4) Ousmane Dembele:
The French winger has proved to be the key to Aubameyang’s goal scoring form. He has provided 14 assists for the Gabonese more than any player has created for him. Dembele is in the final few months of his contract, this form might push the Barcelona board to renew the contract of the winger.
(5) La Liga Title:
Real Madrid’s hope of winning the Spanish title might suffer a huge blow, following the absence of Karim Benzema from the game. The French striker missed the game because of the injury he suffered against Real Mallorca. Real Madrid might drop more points during the time he is off the team.
