From start to finish, everything was perfect; all of the players worked together as a team, and no one had a bad game. Incredible. When I say this was one of their best performances in four or more years against a top club, I am not exaggerating. This team was doomed to years of mediocrity six months ago, full of finished players and has-beens, as well as inexperienced La Masia kids. Xavi has accomplished the seemingly impossible. That would be ludicrous enough, but since taking over Barcelona, our coach has crushed all four of Spain's elite teams: Real Madrid, Valencia, Atlético Madrid, and Athletic Bilbao.Xavi has inspired faith in his teammates. Barcelona's defensive positioning improved tenfold; it's hard to imagine these are the same defenders who were shredded when a winger charged at them. The intensity and dedication to fight in every second on the pitch that Arajo, Piqué, and Eric Garcia showed today was something they hadn't seen from our defenders in years. Aubameyang has become the first player since Di Stéfano to score two goals and provide an assist in his El Clásico debut. Along with Davids, this is the best winter signing in recent memory. Ferran Torres was flawless in his movement and pressuring, displaying the team dedication that we had been lacking from our attackers. Both at night and throughout the day.Even if he was wasteful in the second half, this was Dembélé's best half for Barcelona since that effort against Chelsea. At halftime, sources close to PSG stated that they already had a contract in place for him, but whatever the case, only Barcelona can embarrass PSG without playing them like they did last night, with Busquets, Frenkie, and Pedri all in top form. For years, Modric and Kroos have become a shell of their former selves, and we showed it once again tonight. After Courtois, Busi was the greatest player on the field, as the Belgian made sure it wasn't 8 instead of 4 goals. Xavi wins 4:0 in the Santiago Bernabéu, with two goals from a suspended Arsenal player, one from a Manchester City replacement, and one from a Uruguayan who isn't named Luis Suárez. That is all there is to it.
