Barcelona remains 5 points clear of Real Madrid in the Spanish League after soundly beating Valladolid on Saturday night. Barcelona is on 49 points, Real Madrid 44 and Valencia on 39 at the half way stage of the season, which for the first time in its history Barcelona has gone undefeated.
Saturday night’s match saw the home team put up a strong start, but after Xavi scored in the 20th minute their resolve crumbled. Alves scored a minute later after which Barcelona really dominated, although Victor Valdes had to show what he could do to save a free kick shortly before the end of the first half.
With Barça keeping up the pressure in the second half it was only a matter of time before something got through. Henry came close to scoring, although it was well saved; and a minute later Messi put the goal into the back of the net to make it 3-0.
