The last game at the Camp Nou of 2018 was a somewhat one-sided yet gripping affair. It produced chance after chance for Barça, and such good ones too, that fans leaving the stadium were left wondering how it had ‘only’ produced four goals. It’s a win, coupled with Valencia’s defeat at Eibar, that puts Barça in a stronger position than ever in La Liga, and a massive eleven points clear of next week’s rivals – Real Madrid at the Bernabéu.

Another Iniesta masterclass against Deportivo | FC Barcelona
Few players in world football have Andrés Iniesta's ability to weave his way past the opposition. With the ball seemingly glued to his feet, the FC Barcelona star always seems to find a way through with his vision, technical skill and creativity. Against Deportivo La Coruña this past Sunday, Iniesta put on a masterclass to help his side to a 4-0 victory. Perhaps the pick of the tricks was his role in Barça's second goal of the night.

First Messi, now Suarez - Barcelona boss Valverde fumes over 'absurd' lack of VAR in La Liga | Goal
Suarez scored twice as league leaders Barca hammered Depor 4-0 at Camp Nou, but was denied a hat-trick after seeing an incredible 'rabona' finish from a narrow angle ruled not to have crossed the line late in the first half.

HIGHLIGHTS: Barça v Deportivo La Coruña | FC Barcelona
FC Barcelona are now unbeaten in 24 matches in all competitions after their latest win which came against Deportivo La Coruña in La Liga.
