Barcelona took another step towards the Primera Liga title as they
put six goals past Malaga without reply at the Nou Camp on Sunday
night.
The Catalans had seen title rivals Real Madrid temporarily Sunday,
but they responded with a brilliant performance to thrash in-form
Malaga and move six clear once again.
Pep Guardiola's side tore the visitors apart with a fantastic display
of attacking football in the first half and stormed into a four-goal
lead at the break.
Xavi opened the scoring after 19 minutes and Lionel Messi doubled
their lead with a stunning second halfway through the first period.
Thierry Henry then made it three just after the half-hour mark
and Samuel Eto'o gave the Catalans an unassailable four-goal lead
just before the break.
Dani Alves got in on the act shortly after the restart and Eto'o
added a sixth as Barcelona ran riot.
