Barcelona kept hold of all the points last night when Deportivo visited the Nou Camp. While the crowd was in a party mood after wins against Arsenal and Real Madrid, the players were looking a little tired for much of the match. However, a goal from Bojan in minute 15 put the home side one goal up.
And even though it sometimes looked as though Deportivo might score, in the end Barça really demonstrated why they are in the position they are, but continually grinding down the visitors until they got their second wind and gained two more goals.
Goal number 2 ame in the 68th minute, when Pedro lobbed the ball right over the defence and keeper and into the net; and then in the 72nd minute Toure Yaya scored. With their confidence restored, Barça’s energy reappeared and they continued to provide entertainment to the crowd until the final whistle blew.
The result puts Barça 6 points clear of Madrid, although they are playing Almeria tonight; they then play the Barcelona derby on Saturday, followed by Inter Milan on Tuesday for another busy week.
