Rayo Vallecano 0-4 Barça: Unstoppable!
A 4-0 win at Rayo Vallecano made it 20 wins in 20 games in the Liga Iberdrola. Crnogorčević, Oshoala, Hamraoui and Martens scored the latest of what are now 99 goals for a team that is simply dominating the domestic championship.
Barça could already have taken the lead before Crnogorčević, starting at right back, finally got the blaugrana off the mark in a game where the home side seemed far more focused on preventing Barça from scoring than getting goals of their own. Oshoala added another just past the half hour, while very little was happening to worry the Barça defence – just the occasional counter attack that came to nothing of consequence.
Barça’s third goal came off a beautiful piece of combination football, with Hamraoui finishing the move with a strong, well-placed strike. Martens rounded off the 4-0 win, and attention now turn to a huge game on Wednesday at 12.30pm CET, in Monza, Italy, against Manchester City in the Champions League quarter finals!
