Barcelona continued their march towards a 22nd La Liga title as a much-changed side were still too strong for struggling Real Zaragoza in a 3-0 win at La Romareda on Sunday. Barca, playing without the injured Lionel Messi, remain 13 points ahead of Real Madrid who beat Athletic Bilbao, also by 3-0. Thiago Alcantara got Barcelona going with a tidy finish on 20 minutes and the Spanish international then played in Cristian Tello to make it 2-0 just before the break.
Tello showed great pace and poise to register his second of the evening seven minutes after the restart and there was even a rare clean sheet for Barca despite the absence of Gerard Pique at the back. "We are happy to get this result because La Romareda has been a difficult place to come for us in recent times," Thiago told Gol TV. "I think the team in general has been complete in all facets, in both attack and defence."
