Their 4-0 destruction of Real Madrid at a broken Santiago Bernabeu will go down with other historic results, like the 6-2 in 2009 or the 5-0 in 2010, but perhaps it will prove most similar to the Blaugrana's 2-1 win in the Spanish capital in 2004.

Xavi scored that night for Barcelona, who did not win the league, but did help Valencia overtake Real Madrid to claim La Lig. More importantly for the Catalans, it kick-started a new era.

I remember the 1-2 win and Xavi's goal like it was yesterday. I mentioned previously that under Koeman the spring of 2021 felt like the 2003/04 campaign, but to no avail as Barca failed to match Real Madrid and Atletico in quality.

Now it feels different. It was meant to be the forgotten season, the build up one but this 0-4 was mindblowing. Real are likely to win La Liga, but Barca will second finish just few points below.

Koeman's Barca were superior to Real in Supercopa game. We lacked attackers. But as team we played much better.

Windhook said:

You mean the one we played this January in Riyadh and lost in extra-time? Xavi was the manager, not Koeman, but yeah we fought hard for the win.

Holy crap you are right lol. Time flies here in South-America. But I just remember the coach got huge flak and I had to step in to defend him again. I guess it was Xavi this time.
