Barcelona enjoyed a great weekend in La Liga and finish the gameweek a point clear of Atletico at the top and now three ahead of rivals Real Madrid.
Los Blancos were beaten by Real Betis on Saturday, giving Barcelona the perfect oppportunity to extend their lead over the defending champions.
Hansi Flick’s side promptly did just that and also enjoyed an afternoon where they were able to rotate the squad and keep players fresh ahead of a midweek Champions League tie.

The game looked over as soon as Aritz Elustondo saw red on 17 minutes and so it proved as Barca racked up the goals and the visitors didn’t manage a single shot on target.
