Sunday night’s performance was a watershed moment in many respects.
Barca have been coming up on the rails ever since the new year, as the unbeaten record and gradual improvements in performance week on week would suggest.
Firing six past a Real Sociedad side that are no pushovers, and at a ground where we’ve struggled in the past, is no mean feat.
Before the match, La Real had only conceded 10 goals at home this season, and the manner of that 90 minutes should be sending shudders down the spines of Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid management and players.
