Now this is more like it…
The last few tumultuous days at the Nou Camp have left the clubs motto ‘More than a Club’ looking somewhat ironic as all behind the scenes turmoil has taken the attention away from what’s most important, the action on the pitch.
New manager Luis Enrique’s start hasn’t been ideal but Barca looked more like their superb tiki-taka selves in last-nights Copa Del Rey tie against Elche.
Barcelona went into match all square after a 0-0 draw in the first leg but they absolutely blew the visitors away at the Nou Camp.
Take a look as Messi, Suarez and Neymar all combine for this lovely one-touch goal.
If that wasn’t enough then this eye-of-a-needle pass from Messi to Jordi Albia is just sublime. Ok, the defender didn’t exactly cover himself in glory but this is just stellar. Just so Man City know, that’s another £50m on his price-tag.
