The Catalans thrashed Las Palmas 5-0 and Luis Enrique will have been particularly encouraged by the performance of his fringe players on Saturday
Superb stuff from Barcelona. The Spanish champions dominated their match against Las Palmas from start to finish and came out on top comfortably in a one-sided encounter. And best of all was how several of their second string stepped up on Saturday.
Barca have sometimes struggled this term when using their fringe players. But as Luis Enrique rotated ahead of a busy period in which Barca will face Real Sociedad twice in the next 12 days, as well as a trip to Eibar in La Liga next weekend, Andre Gomes, Arda Turan, Rafinha, Paco Alcacer and even Aleix Vidal all contributed to an emphatic victory.
