Barcelona are now three points clear at the top of La Liga thanks to an amazing 4-0 victory over Espanyol on Saturday’s Catalan Derby. Captain Lionel Messi had one of his most incredible league performances to date, scoring two spectacular free-kicks and leading his team to a truly great win.
FIRST HALF
From the very first minute, Barcelona were clearly the better team in this game. They passed the ball well, they pressed high up the pitch and they suffocated Espanyol to the point where the home team couldn’t put three passes together.
