It’s as easy as that. Barcelona were back in front of their home crowd, and picked up where they left off the last time they played at Montjuïc, after two frustrating road trips.
This was a big game against a good team that resulted in Barcelona rising to second place in the Champions League standings.
Hansi Flick and his men are cruising in the competition, and that’s important, considering that the last three games of the opening stage come against three top tier opponents.
The bigger question going forward will be if the Blaugrana can get back to dominating La Liga after dropping four critical points with a loss to Real Sociedad followed by a shocking come from behind draw to Celta Vigo.
