FC Barcelona Hits Five Past Córdoba but Concerns Remain
FC Barcelona delivered a 5-0 win over newly-promoted Córdoba, but despite the scoreline, the performance hasn’t fully reassured fans or critics.
The match started strong with Pedro scoring in the 2nd minute, finishing a brilliant pass from Ivan Rakitic. Luis Suárez followed with his first La Liga goal in the 53rd minute, a much-awaited milestone for the Uruguayan striker.
The final stretch of the game saw Barcelona unleash a flurry of goals:
Gerard Piqué scored a header (80′)
Lionel Messi added a brace (82′ and 90+1′)
Despite this late offensive surge, doubts remain about the team’s consistency and dominance, particularly given their sluggish mid-game rhythm.
Still, the victory allowed Barça to close the gap to just one point behind leaders Real Madrid, who still have a game in hand. With the title race heating up, Barça will need to show more consistent control and intensity in their upcoming fixtures.
