In the Spanish Championship on Saturday, four matches were played, with one game ending late in the evening Lithuanian time.
The most impressive victory at home since 1996 was achieved by the "Barcelona" club, beating the helpless Osasuna from Pamplona 8-0.
The last two matches did not go well for the Catalans: first, they played a draw in the national championships with "Real Sociedad", and then followed a victory against "Milan".
However, tonight "Barcelona" simply swept their opponents off the field, and the maestro of this victory was once again Lionel Messi, scoring three goals.
In the first half, the hosts won 5-0, and after the break, they ended the opponents' humiliation with three more goals.
In the other matches, "Valencia" achieved their third victory out of as many games, defeating Chichon's "Sporting" 1-0 and rising to the top of the tournament table.
