Suarez paces Barca over Real Madrid

Luis Suarez scored twice and Neymar added a goal and an assist to lead Barcelona to a 4-0 win over Real Madrid in the first “clasico” of the season Saturday, leaving its rival under increased pressure from the home fans.

The victory gave Barcelona a six-point lead in the Spanish league standings, and halted Madrid’s 22game unbeaten streak at home in the league.

Barcelona played most of the match without Lionel Messi, who came off the bench in the 56th minute after being sidelined for nearly two months because of a left knee injury.

Elsewhere in Europe, 11 doves of peace were released and a minute’s silence was observed before Lorient’s home match against Paris SaintGermain in remembrance of the Paris terrorist attack victims. Thousands of fans waved French

tricolor flags inside Le Moustoir stadium and then joined players, match officials and coaching staff alike in a searing rendition of the French national anthem, “La Marseillaise.” Unbeaten PSG won the match 2-1 to extend its lead over second-place Lyon to 13 points.
