With good football and plenty of goals, Barcelona destroyed Atletico at Camp Nou by six goals to one. Marquez, Eto’o (2), Messi, Gudjohnsen and Henry scored for Barça, while Maxi scored the only goal for the visitors.

Four changes in the starting eleven from the one started last game. Alves was given a rest, while Henry, Yaya and Keita were benched. Puyol was given right back place, Abidal his usual left side, with Marques and Pique being the last defenders. Busquets was the defensive midfielder in the center together with Xavi and Gudjohnsen. Eto'o as a striker, Messi and Iniesta played widely on the left and the right.

Attacking football from the start led to the 1st goal after three minutes from the kick-off, when Marquez headed home from a corner. two minutes later, Eto'o stuck home a penalty, after Messi was fouled by Ujfalusi. At the 8th minute, atletico looked shocked when Messi added the third when he played a free-kick quickly before the defensive wall had had time to get ready. Atletico did pull one back on the 13th minute, thanks to the wonderful strike from Maxi outside the area, but soon they were taken out of the game, when Eto'o added his second after few minutes. Gudjohnsen came up with the 5th goal, after Iniesta had drilled a shot low against the post and the Icelandic international was on hand to tap into the empty net. Too many opportunities to score for the home side, but the final result of the 1st half remained unchanged.

The second half didn't bring much, Barca controlling and creating more chances, while Atletico remained unable to compete with the Catalan. With the three points in the bag, Pep decided to bring off Eto'o and also Messi, and Henry and Bojan coming in to replace them. The last goal came just to show what quality of football Barca can have, Henry started the move inside the Atlético half, passing to Xavi, who laid the ball off to Bojan, who gave it back to Henry on the edge of the box and the french blasted into the right bottom corner.

Very high performance by the Catalan and their coach, who deserves all the credits for what he has done with the team so far. Pep continued giving the payers in the front line the freedom to swap, especially for Messi who didn't seem easy target for Atletico to spot, Iniesta as well, his ability to play in many positions makes it easy for any coach to take the best out of him. But despite the brilliant result, Barca still didn't win any match without receiving a goal.
