First it was Griezmann , later Messi , in the end Luis Suarez . One, two and three for a friendly noon for Barcelona , scoring as who signs every day at work, in his most placid encounter of the whole season. Goal to zero, Ter Stegen exercising more of spectator than goalkeeper and hatching of his luxury trident before an Eibar as meek as unrecognizable, handcuffed by the superiority of his rival. Everything went perfectly for Ernesto Valverde's team .

But beyond the goals of its three stars, Barcelona exhibited its collective strength in Ipurua, the one that it had not yet found at this beginning of the truffled season of ups and downs. De Jong continued his growth, deserving the applause of the swollen rival when he was replaced and Umtiti returned from his long night as if he had never left, leaving in a forgettable anecdote the absence of Piqué by sanction. A game, in short, tremendously complete of Valverde against his favorite victim of recent times.

Because Ipurua has lived in these wonderful years all kinds of feats of his team, until a decline that never was, but has never seen Eibar win against Barcelona . There was only one draw, in the inconsequential last day of last season, with which to make up a strong statistic: nine defeats in 10 games in First, adding those of Camp No and and those of Ipurua.

They are already 10 of 11 with that of Saturday, as blunt as usual, a perennial punishment from Valverde to his good friend Mendilibar , who only put him in trouble (minimum) in the first minutes, with the classic armera rain of lateral centers . None found an auctioneer, it is true, but the sum of them generated concern in the Barça defense, too accustomed to instability in recent weeks.

That threat, however, was immediately stifled by Barcelona. It hardly took 13 minutes for the Barça team to open the score. A shipment from the defense of Lenglet , with slip of De Blasis included, led to Griezmann being left alone in front of Dmitrovic and beating him enough to mark his fourth goal as Barca. The Eibar, practically, ended that much against which it reported temperance and comfort to Barça football.

The displacement of De Jong to the right wing in defensive tasks to plug the rises of José Ángel contributed to strengthen the script of the meeting. The Dutchman, sharing space on this occasion with Busquets, was surely the most prominent of the Catalans, who was close to going to rest with two goals. Dmitrovic avoided it, rectifying from the ground to win a hand to hand to Messi, still far from his best level.

Eibar hoped to react after the break, but Barcelona, ​​now with Semedo by Sergi Roberto , injured, denied him any option. Suarez scored right away, but he did it offside. The second that Valverde's had, they didn't forgive. Suarez, Griezmann and Messi e passed the ball between them in a span of land and the Argentine beat Dmitrovic , taking revenge from the hand to hand of the first half.

The 2-0 killed Eibar completely, forced to take more risks than are convenient when you face the current champion. Already with the defense very advanced, Suarez completed the full of the trident past the game hour. This time it was Messi who led the play and gave the Uruguayan free kick. From then on, Barça lifted the foot of the accelerator and began to think about the future, no matter how much it appears a priori clear, with the visit to the Slavia of Prague on Wednesday before the weekend that the Catalan crisis has left without classic.
