Xavi's Barcelona moved 11 points clear at the top of La Liga four days ahead of their Europa League meeting with Manchester United.
Real Madrid can close the gap back to eight when they play on Wednesday but this is a healthy gap nurtured by Pedri’s goals from midfield and Barcelona’s watertight defence.
Barcelona have now won 1-0 five times this year and it was another resounding show of defensive solidity. Andreas Christensen and Ronald Araujo has emerged as the best central defensive partnership in the division and everything bounced off them.
