Welcome into the latest edition of ESPNSC. I'm Dan Thomas, joined the studio today by

0:08.0

Annie Rano and Shaka. Here's the kick things off in La Liga. We've been critical of late

0:11.9

of Barça not scoring enough goals. Well, they certainly did that. Didn't they on Saturday

0:16.7

at the camp now? Thrashing 10-man Real Betis by four goals to Nile. Real Madrid won earlier

0:22.9

in the day. So going into this tie, there are eight points ahead. It's back to 11 now

0:28.1

when you focus on the top of the table. Of course, it's a matter of when, not if they win

0:32.9

the Spanish Championship. For more on this, let's welcome in, Luis Garcia. Luis, this is

0:37.4

much, much better from Barcelona. Yeah, yeah, it was from the first minute. You could see

0:43.9

the intensity of the players, on the pressure, on the ball, the speed of the ball. Everything

1:06.6

25-30 minutes we've seen for Barcelona, they were, they were very, very good. I'm happy

1:12.4

to see if I can, again, of course, them belly, but I think that was kids, Christian San

1:17.4

Perri made the difference today because they give that extra pace to the ball, they give

1:22.2

our extra pace to the way of playing, switching from one side to the other side, not allowing

1:26.7

these real baddies to not even try to be dominant, to create chances. We've seen only one

1:32.0

shot on target for real baddies. So no chance today for real baddies and something that

1:36.9

we were expecting for quite a while. A good and dazzling performance from Barcelona.

1:41.3

If 11-Doski, Ali, it's incredible to think that's only a second home goal since the

1:45.4
