Barcelona were back at their best on Wednesday, thumping Sporting Gijon 6-1 at Camp Nou.
The win helped Barcelona maintain pressure on arch-rivals Real Madrid in the race to win the La Liga title. Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez netted either side of a Juan Rodriguez own-goal, although Barca's recent dalliance with a confusing set up at the back led to a disjointed defensive display, which opened up space for Carlos Castro to score. Neymar also scored his first league goal at the Camp Nou this season.
Barcelona now have 57 points and top the table. Real Madrid are two points behind, they have two matches in hand however. They face Las Palmas later today. Sporting Gijon meanwhile are 19th in the table, with only 17 points from 25 matches.
