I am motivated to return the confidence the club has placed in me.” Lewandowski hadn’t scored in five games – three with Barcelona and two with Poland – since his goal against Manchester United in a 2-0 loss in the Europa League on Feb. Given the opponent and his team’s commanding league lead, Xavi allowed himself to experiment with his lineup. Sancet leads the team with eight goals this season.

Barcelona came out on top against Real Madrid in their last game before the international break. The Catalan giants are currently sat atop of La Liga with a ...

Barcelona will play archrivals Real Madrid in the second leg of Copa del Rey on 5th April. The Valencia based club haven't won any of their previous 20 matches against Barcelona in La Liga, losing each of their last seven clashes. Elche are currently sat at the bottom of La Liga with just 13 points from 26 games, winning just two games so far in La Liga.

La Liga leaders ease to a 4-0 victory at Estadio Manuel Martínez Valero to extend gap to 15 points.

[Barcelona](https://www.thenationalnews.com/tags/barcelona/) won 4-0 at bottom side Elche on Saturday to go provisionally 15 points clear of second-placed Real Madrid at the top of La Liga. Check out the photo gallery above for Andy Mitten's Barcelona player ratings. Torres got on the scoresheet in the 70th-minute, slotting his shot into the left corner for his third league goal of the campaign.

Barcelona's front three were all on target as Barcelona put lowly Elche to the sword.

Xavi benched a number of his regulars ahead of Wednesday's Clasico, and a makeshift line-up dispatched the home side to go 15 points clear atop La Liga. He should have found a second shortly before the break, instead nodding over from five yards out. Lewandowski, who didn't score for his club in March, opened the festivities inside 20 minutes, reacting first to a loose ball before guiding his shot through a crowded box and into the corner.

Elche are studying a possible appeal over what they feel was an 'improper' selection of midfielder Gavi from FC Barcelona, Spanish media has reported, ...

MARCA also reports that Elche's argument would not be valid, as Gavi was originally registered with the number '30' at the start of the season and has returned to it as part of court-imposed precautionary measures making his selections valid moving forward. According to the report, Elche are studying how to get a possible appeal off the ground against Barca for what they feel was an 'improper' selection of Gavi starting on the left hand side of midfield in Xavi Hernandez's first XI. Though Gavi has been stripped of Xavi's iconic '6' jersey he was awarded at the turn of 2023, and given his old number '30', it doesn't look likely that Barca will face similar treatment as to the points earned this weekend. The Catalan outlet reported that Barca "are very calm" about any potential appeal coming to nothing because they received approval from both the league and federation on Friday regarding the matter of selecting Gavi.
