Welcome into late edition of ESPNFC. I'm Dan Thomas, joined by Ali Morello and Stevie

0:08.5

Nickle. Lots coming up. Frank and Nathan will be here to reflect on a busy day for the

0:12.8

Magista clubs in the Premier League, but we'll kick things off in La Liga Barça, beating

0:17.2

very hard by one goal to nail. The only goal to gain coming to the 80th minute, lovely finish

0:21.8

from Pedrari to give Barça another victory. What a run they're on at the moment. Because

0:26.7

a real Madrid involvement in the club will cut their own now. 11 points clear at the top

0:31.9

1:17.0

necessarily easy, but easier. And this was the last of the really, really tough away games

1:21.5

for those who don't know Spanish football always has a season in two halves. So in other

1:26.7

case, you get to the halfway point and you have played everyone once. There's not a mix

1:29.6

of fixtures. So now it is everybody to come. Most of the really tough ones at the Camp

1:34.5

Nouveau, which puts them in a very advantageous position. And I think they've just found

1:38.2

themselves now in a position where they compete really well, even in those games that
