Barcelona stay two points clear at the top of the table after a comprehensive 0-5 win at Tenerife. The Canary Islanders caused Guardiola's side some problems early on, Alfaro hitting the bar and then bringing two good saves out of Valdés. But ten minutes before half time Messi opened the scoring after a good run by Bojan, and before the break they scored two more, Puyol heading in Messi's free kick and Messi taking advantage of another Bojan assist to beat Aragoneses from close up. Henry hit the post soon after the restart, and Messi completed his hat-trick with the goal of the night before Luna put through his own net trying to clear from local boy Pedro.
