After a couple of matches in which Barcelona drew, first against Real Sociedad in the Spanish League, and then against AC Milan in Champions League, the Catalans seems to have recovered their form in a match that saw them beat Osasuna 8-0.
Leo Messi scored three of those goals, and as well as an own goal to add to Barça’s tally, Villa scored a pair of goals, with Cesc And Xavi adding one each.
The other good news for Barcelona was Real Madrid’s defeat at the hands of Levante. What should have been a relatively easy match proved to be anything but and Madrid lose their top place in the league to Valencia, who Barça plays on Wednesday.
