Squaring off against the Pepineros for the first time competitively, FC Barcelona made a strong comeback to the league, with a massive 1-5 scoreline.
Luis Enrique is famous for the rotation policy he'd utilised in his first season with the Blaugrana. Not only did it make his team selections unpredictable, it meant that it was impossible for the opponents to devise a strategy, to contain Barça.
Reminiscent of the game against PSG in his debut season, Lucho picked his best 3 centre-backs, in Piqué, Mascherano and Umtiti. After a monstrous game against Celtic in the Champions League, the MSN trident would return with Iniesta and Rakitic joining them.
