Barcelona's players, who saddened their fans while on the road, returned to the Camp Nou stadium to show that their own fans can give them wings.
On Sunday in the XXIV round of the Spanish La Liga BBVA championship, Josep Guardiola's army crushed Valencia 5-1 at home.
In the early 'owl wing' goal, Lionel Messi responded with two goals in the first half. In the second, the Argentine scored two more goals against Diego Alves, and Xavi marked the final minutes of the match.
Earning three points allowed the Catalans to reduce the gap from the leading Madrid Real club to ten points in the championship.
In another match, Athletic Bilbao scored three goals in four minutes in front of their home crowd and defeated Malaga 3-0.
