Barcelona dominated Basel from start to finish as they managed to win their third game with 0-5 victory to remain on the top of the group with nine points in the Champions League groups stage.

Guardiola shuffled the team again by calling up some players and resting others. Bojan started in front with Messi and Hleb as wings, the midfield was filled by Xavi, Busquets and Toure, in the back line there were Alves and Sylvinho on the right and left backs and Marquez with Puyol being last defenders.

Without any problem, the Catalan started the game with full control of the ball, soon after three minutes, after nice team work, Alves with sensational pass set Messi who tapped the ball home on the volley from five yards out. Effective short passes all over the field gave Barca all the possible ways to push on their opponent in their own area. On the 15th minutes, Xavi picked the ball up 25 yards from goal and saw Busquets on the right before rushing a pass to the young midfielder, thanks to the good control, he managed to put the ball between the goalkeeper legs. With no reaction from the home side as things went wrong for them, Barca continued the attacking waves, this time Bojan, who was given too much space he strike the ball form the edge of the area into the low corner. Chances were available to make the score bigger but 0-3 was the first half result.

Even if Barca started the first half well by scoring one goal after three minutes, the first three minutes in the second half were much better, as Bojan and Xavi added the 4th and the 5th goals. Same rhythm kept in repeating itself but with no more goals. with such a big lead, Barcelona were able to relax and be sure about the three points. Cceres, Henry and Sanchez were the substitutions for Guardiola when they replaced Marquez, Xavi and Toure. Henry stood as left wing while hleb was sent to the midfield.

The last minutes saw some chances for Basel, but none of them caused any real danger as the final whistle blew to give Barcelona a perfect nine from nine and to condemn Basel to bottom place with zero points from their three match so far.

Brilliant performance by the players and the coach, who proved that building a team from youth players can bring good results rather than paying millions. All five goals came from Barca youth products, Busquets scored today his first goal and it seems that he will be seen wearing the Blaugrana shirt for the next years.
