Remember how Barcelona started this season?

The Catalans looked very bad on all fronts and did not even manage to qualify from the early home in the Champions League.

But since the arrival of Xavi and the reinforcement in January, it can be said that the big and attractive Barça has returned to delight its audience and football fans after a few bad years.

Last night (Sunday) Barcelona scored a third consecutive quartet and crushed Bilbao 0: 4.

Barça settled for 0-1 in the first half from an Obmiang goal.

But Osman Dembele, who came on as a substitute in the 67th minute, exploded with a wonderful goal and two late assists for Luke de Jong and Memphis Depay, who returned to the pitch after almost three months.

By the way, this was the first time Barça have scored a third consecutive quartet since 2017. These, by the way, were Luis Enrique's last three games as the team's coach.

Dembele starred, but the one who was chosen as the man of the match was again Pedri, Habibu and Xavi's protégé.

"We work very well and we want to win," Pedry and Pargan told Xavi, "The coach brings us a lot and we see the results."

On Dembele: "He brings us a lot on the pitch, we saw what a goal he scored. His situation was complicated, but we handled it differently. I think the game was great, our best this season."

"Things are going really well for us," Xavi concluded, "We started winning and we play the way we want. That's what I want. Every game at Camp Nou is like a celebration for me and the crowd."

The coach, as usual, praised Pedry and said, "He reminds me of Iniesta."

On Dembele: "He proved today that he is the best player in the world in our position. Contract renewal? It depends on him."

What a show.

It was a particularly sweet return to Memphis, who after nearly 3 months without football, came back and also finished with the fourth in overtime.

The Dutchman commented on the positive change in his team and said: "We have more strikers now. And we saw what happened, we can score three goals in 10 minutes. The signings we made in the winter proved themselves, the team is in great shape."

Memphis also sent a sting to former coach Koeman when he said, "Xavi has changed our coaching method. Opposing defensive players now suffer when they meet us."
