Barca ran out comfortable 3-0 winners against Elche courtesy of a much-improved showing after the half-time break.
Ronald Koeman had made five changes to his team for the match but saw his team produce a pedestrian first-half performance lacking in ideas and energy.
The Barca boss made changes at half-time, bringing on Ousmane Dembele for Miralem Pjanic and tweaking his formation, which helped his team spark into life and run away with the three points.
It was not the most convincing of performance by Barca but it does put them back into third and should inject some belief and confidence after some tough results against Cadiz and PSG.
