Barca batter sorry Atletico
In-form Barcelona thrashed Atletico Madrid 6-1, scoring five goals inside the first 28 minutes of a thrilling encounter at the Camp Nou.
Barca made a flying start to be 3-0 ahead after nine minutes, with Rafael Marquez, Samuel Eto’o and Lionel Messi getting on the scoresheet, before Maxi Roriguez pulled a goal back for the visitors.
Eto’o’s second of the evening made the score 4-1 18 minutes in and Eidur Gudjohnsen added the fifth ten minutes later.
The second half was a more sedate affair, with Thierry Henry completing the scoring 17 minutes from time.
Barca coach Pep Guardiola told the club’s official website: “I want to give thanks to the fans. I would like them to understand that with them we are stronger.
“We know very clearly we play for the people, not only for us.
“We have fulfilled our mission and we want to always play with this intensity. It is a good sign and one to convince us that we can do the same again.”
Meanwhile, Villarreal scored twice in two minutes to come from behind to beat Real Betis 2-1 at El Madrigal.
Abella Damia gave the visitors a 20th minute lead, but the Yellow Submarine hit back through Gonzalo Rodriguez and Joseba Llorente to take the victory and remain top of the table.
