Match Report: Barcelona 5-0 Deportivo Lacoruña

What a match, Barcelistas! It was simply amazing... five beautiful goals were scored, our team managed to keep a clean sheet for the first time in ages, and everyone, from Victor Valdes to Samuel Eto'o, was on fire last night.

This win marks the end of the first half of the season for us, and with fifty points, Barca has broken the all-time Liga record for most points scored in a season first half. Our lads gave a spectacular performance and ended the midseason in style, proving once again that we are currently the best team in the world. No other side can match the way Barca is performing right now.

Messi ripped apart the defense to slot in the first goal, followed by a header from Henry then another goal by Eto'o, and then Henry again. The final goal was the result of a wondrous run from Puyol, who would have scored had it not been for the keeper knocking him down, getting a red card for himself and a penalty for us. Eto'o took the shot and scored it with perfect ease, securing Barca's fifth and final goal.

All three of our Liga top scorers upped their goal counts in this match; Eto'o now has eighteen, Messi twelve, and Henry eleven. Everyone was playing incredibly well, and we must stop to mention Daniel Alves: he was amazing, amazing, amazing.
Best hair for this match goes to Dani as well; he's grown it out into a beautiful fade cut and he looked as spectacular as he played.
