Barca struck right at the start. Andres Iniesta curled a superb strike into the top corner, making it 1-0 after only three minutes.
Iniesta then exchanged passes with Xavi and squared the ball to Samuel Eto'o, who slotted the ball home from close range for a 2-0 lead.
The Barca star got involved again in Barca's third goal. Iniesta set up Xavi, who thundered the ball into the top of the net at 49 minutes.
Iniesta completed his fabulous individual display five minutes later by threading a pass ahead for Thierry Henry to slide-in Barca's fourth. With the win, Barca moved up to 81 points, 6 points clear of Real Madrid.
