Barca In Driver's Seat for Spanish League Title

Is this the sign for many great things to come? 2009 could be the greatest year for Barcelona.

Barcelona break club scoring record with four goals against Sevilla

Barcelona re-opened a six-point gap at the top of La Liga last night after sweeping aside Sevilla 4-0 at Camp Nou.

The Catalans were at their free-flowing best as goals from Andres Iniesta and Samuel Eto'o before the break and Xavi and Thierry Henry in the second half sealed a thumping win.

With Lionel Messi and Carles Puyol watching from the bench, Pep Guardiola's side took control of the game after two minutes when Iniesta lobbed Javi Varas with a superb dipping effort from outside the box.

Eto'o made it two after 16 minutes and Barça moved out of sight after the break as Xavi curled a brilliant right-footed shot into the top corner in the 49th minute.

Henry slid home a fourth five minutes later as Barcelona made it a club record 92 league goals for the season, surpassing Johan Cruyff's legendary "dream team" with six rounds of the championship still remaining.

Earlier Real Madrid had closed the gap when they snatched a dramatic 3-2 win over Getafe. A David Villa double gave Valencia a 2-1 win at Real Betis.
