Your support makes all the difference.Barcelona overcame doubts about their recent poor form with their biggest win of the season at Deportivo La Coruna.
After winning just one of their last five matches in a month - a run of form that has seen Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid catch up in La Liga and Barcelona crash out of the Champions League - Luis Enrique's team produced a truly brilliant display on their way to a 8-0 win.
Luis Suarez had been heavily criticised during the run, scoring just two goals, but was dominant at the Riazor and had a hand in seven of the eight goals.
Suarez took his tally for the season to 50 goals and 19 assists.
Striker partners Lionel Messi (40 goals, 17 assists) and Neymar (28 goals, 18 assists) also scored one each, while Ivan Rakitic and defender Marc Bartra scored in a rare appearance.
However, both Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid also won on Wednesday night to keep the pressure up on the La Liga leaders.
Diego Simeone's Atletico beat Athletic Bilbao 1-0 at the San Mames Barria to keep level on points with Barcelona.
Fernando Torres scored for the fifth consecutive game, his 10th of the season, although Atletico's goal difference is 25 goals worse.
Real Madrid had a pretty comfortable win at the Santoago Bernabeu against Villarreal, who will play Liverpool in the Europa League semi-final next week.
Karim Benzema, Lucas Vazquez and Luka Modric scored in a 3-0 win.
They remain a point behind Barcelona and Atletico Madrid with four games left this season.
