Barça knocked out of Copa del Rey »
Having escaped the cold back home, FC Barcelona remained at the top of the Spanish League after their 5-0 defeat of Tenerife.
Although it took half an hour for the visiters to warm up and really take control of the match, when the goals started is was like they couldn’t be stopped. Messi scored in the 36th minute from a Bojan pass; a few minutes later Puyol headed the ball in from a Messi free kick; and Iniesta and Bojan provided Messi with the opportunity for his second goal just before the break.
Although Tenerife looked already beaten, Barça’s second half attacks failed to get home until the last 15 minutes, when Bojan set up Leo Messi’s third goal of the match. And Pedro, who is originally from Tenerife, came close to claiming one for himself just three minutes from the end; the ball was pushed into the net by Luna.
The result leaves Barcelona on top, still two points ahead of Real Madrid.
