The Good

By and large, a buzzing display from the Catalan side. At times they looked as sharp as they did at their 2011 height.
That Mascherano tackle!
A solid defensive turn from Montoya with great attacking (and covering) from Alba underlined the importance of Barca's attacking balance - something for Lucho to consider perhaps.
Seriously, how good is it to see Messi's striking partners scoring with ease?
Neymar is not only showing signs of returning to form (after only a temporary drop) but it looks like the Brazilian Neymar is beginning to complement the Barça Neymar.
Xavi shows yet again that he is critical to an in-form Barca.

The Bad

Xavi shows yet again that he is critical to an in-form Barca.
An unlucky goal conceded - sure it wasn't the best attempts at a clearance but it was just one of those goals.
People actually wanted Barça to buy David Luiz.

The Ugly
