The midweek loss against the minnows Levante meant not just a reality check but also a wake-up call for the defending champions. It meant that the treble would not simply fall at the champions’ feet but would demand hard strive.

The call seemed to be heard quite well by every player. Every single Barcelona player reacted in a professional manner despite a sluggish start. Philippe Coutinho looked to prove his worth and went on to put in a fine performance.

On the other side was his North American counterpart, who hardly put a foot wrong. Luis Suarez looked in perfect shape, showing glimpses of his Liverpool days and was directly involved in all the three goals.

In spite of the fact that the duo were the best players of the match, Lionel Messi stole the limelight for his record-creating 4ooth league goal, a feat achieved by nobody else.
