Barcelona will be top of the La Liga table for at least a few hours thanks to a very good 5-0 win over Eibar at Camp Nou on Saturday afternoon in sunny Catalonia. Lionel Messi ended his goal drought with a spectacular performance and four goals, and the rest of the team was also very good for most of the match as Barça go into a gigantic week of Champions League and El Clásico games with a lot of confidence.
FIRST HALF
After a little bit of a struggle trying to break the Eibar press in the first couple of minutes Barça quickly established dominance of possession in the attacking half and created a lot of good chances through smart passing and running off the ball, and the front three of Lionel Messi, Antoine Griezmann and Arturo Vidal looked very good and constantly interchanged to create opportunities.
