1994-95 Real Madrid 5 Barcelona 0
A sweet victory for Real as they
avenged their 5-0 defeat of the previous season with an equally conclusive win
of their own at the Bernabeu.
Chile striker Ivan Zamorano got a
hat-trick while Emilio Amavisca and Luis Enrique, who later became a Barca
favourite when he moved to the Nou Camp, weighed in with the others. Real went
on to win the league ahead of Deportivo.

Real Madrid 2
The previous derby in Barcelona had been marred by
incidents surrounding the return of former idol Luis Figo to the Nou Camp and
his appearance on this occasion was no exception.
The Portugal
midfielder got a vitriolic reception the first time he played there for Real in
2000 and was showered with missiles, including a pig's head, two seasons later.
This time he had the last word as he helped Real to a first league win at the
Nou Camp in 19 years. Barca got their own back with a 2-1 victory at the
Bernabeu later in the season.
2004-2005 Barcelona 3 Real Madrid 0
Barca produced a sparkling display of fluent, attacking football to
outclass their rivals at the Nou Camp.
Former Real player Samuel Eto'o,
rejected by his old club at the start of the season, made the most of a
defensive mix-up to open the scoring as he darted between Roberto Carlos and
goalkeeper Iker Casillas.
Dutchman Giovanni van Bronckhorst made it 2-0
after a slick passing move and Ronaldinho completed an emphatic win by smashing
home a penalty after the livewire Eto'o was brought down in the
area.
