Barca returned to the summit with a rout at Camp Nou and Goal.com rated the players of both sides out of ten...
BARCELONA
Victor Valdes - 6: Made a couple of good saves when called upon. Should have done better for the goal but when Barca play like this he is just another spectator.
Carles Puyol - 6: Solid but not brilliant, got caught up the field for Zaragoza's goal.
Gerard Pique - 6: A good performance, one lapse of concentration in the first half could have been costly but Arizmendi's effort was easily saved.
Dmytro Chygrynskiy -5: Not a good night from the Ukrainian. Struggled to play the offside trap and let the visitors in on a couple of occasions. His concentration will need to improve against better opposition.
Maxwell - 6.5: Made Pennant look ordinary. Defended really well and got forward to great effect at times.
Sergi Busquets - 7.5: Busied himself in winning the ball back on the rare occasions Barca lost it. Was involved in a lot of Barca's intricate attacking play.
Seydou Keita - 9.5: An excellent, energetic display capped by three clinical finishes any striker would be proud of. A great performance and a fine hat-trick.
Xavi - 8: He makes it look easy. Completely dominated midfield and played some typically precise passes to unlock the Zaragoza defence.
Lionel Messi - 8.5: Normal service resumed from Messi. Terrorised the Zaragoza defence and beat Carrizo with a sublime effort. On another night he'd have had four goals.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic - 8.5: Two very good goals and was always available to his team-mates. His partnership with Messi is getting better.
Andres Iniesta - 8: Full of running and his tenacity alone ensured Barca never let up in their attacking play. Probably not at his best yet but still a very, very good game.
Substitutes:
Rafael Marquez - 5: Caught napping for the goal and nearly caught again. Needs match practice and being four goals ahead is a good time to allow for such mistakes.
Bojan Krkic - 6: Good to see him back in action. Showed some nice touches but not in it enough to influence the game.
Jeffren: N/A
REAL ZARAGOZA
Juan Pablo Carrizo - 6: It could have been ten if it wasn't for him. Had a thankless task trying to keep this Barca side at bay.
Ruben Pulido - 4.5: Struggled to cope with the incessant Barca attacking movement. Will want to forget tonight and quickly.
Pablo Amo - 5: Constantly under the pump and won't thank his midfield for not relieving the pressure even for enough time for a breather.
Paco Pavon - 4: Ibra completely out-muscled him all night and beat him swiftly to the near post for the fourth goal.
Javier Paredes - 5: Tried hard but it proved impossible to stop the tide of attack from Barcelona. Got roasted on a couple of occasions by Barca's fluid interchanges.
Gabi - 4.5: Put himself about early on with some strong challenges but he was completely outclassed over the 90 minutes.
Andre Herrera - 4.5: The best of a bad lot in midfield for the visitors but struggled to keep possession and spent much of his night chasing shadows
Jermaine Pennant - 3: Spoke beforehand of how much he was looking forward to playing at Camp Nou. He didn't.
Abel Aguilar - 5: Wasn't allowed time or sufficient possession to display his craft. Better in possession than he is looking for it.
Jorge Lopez - 6: Took his goal well and tried to give the Barca backline something to think about but along with Arizmendi, fought a lonely battle.
Javier Arizmendi - 6.5: Worked his socks off in the lone role up front and showed well when his side had possession but it was never enough to really trouble Barca.
Substitutes
Angel Lafita - 6.5: Offered something Pennant didn't. A real attacking threat. Made the goal and tried to add another. Was a good outlet even if the game was beyond his side when introduced.
Ewerthon - 5.5: Got into some good positions but didn't possess the necessary finishing touch.
Victor Valdes - 6: Made a couple of good saves when called upon. Should have done better for the goal but when Barca play like this he is just another spectator.
