Barcelona 4-0 Napoli: 4 talking points 

#4 Barcelona head into the season with supreme confidence

Each of Barcelona's attackers got on the scoresheet

After posting a 2-1 loss to Chelsea in their opening pre-season fixture, Barcelona went from strength to strength - winning their next four matches by an aggregate score of 10-2.

Having narrowly defeated Napoli last time out, the Blaugrana started the return leg rather lackadaisically. But they rose into the ascendancy upon resumption of the second half.

Their display in the second 45 minutes against Napoli was arguably their best of pre-season. The Catalans totally dominated proceedings, barely giving the Serie A side a chance to catch their breath.

As highlighted in the last slide, the stats showcased their brilliance, and it is safe to say that the final scoreline of 4-0 - though embarrassing for their opponents - was a fair reflection of Barcelona's total dominance.

The midfield was supreme and dictated the tempo of the match, while each of the starting attackers got his name on the scoresheet.

Ernesto Valverde would be very pleased with the output of this wards, especially coming without the services of Lionel Messi. And with just five six to go until their season opener against Athletic Bilbao, the 55-year-old would fancy his side's chances of retaining their LaLiga title.
