Barça establish themselves at the top of La Liga

Barça sit top of La Liga as this break approaches. Flick’s team completed the first part of the championship with a perfect run of victories, a sequence that has put them at the summit of the table.

That position has been built on a solid style of play and superiority that has been reflected in results. After seven matchdays, Barça hold a five-point advantage over Atlético, their closest challengers, a gap that adds weight to their leadership.
