Barcelona continued their impressive start to the season and signaled their intentions to reclaim the Primera Liga title with a stunning 5-2 victory at home against Atletico Madrid on Saturday night.

Pep Guardiola’s side got off to the perfect start when summer signing Zlatan Ibrahimovic bagged his third goal in as many league starts after just two minutes.

Lionel Messi, who extended his contract to remain at the club until 2016, then made it two after a quarter of an hour before a Dani Alves free-kick and a close-range Seydou Keita strike put the Catalans into a four-goal lead before half-time.

Sergio Aguero pulled a goal back for the visitors on the stroke of half-time and Diego Forlan added a second for Abel Resino’s side in the final minutes.

But Barcelona’s win was never in doubt and Messi grabbed a fifth deep into injury time for the Catalans, who moved clear at the top of the table, at least until tomorrow’s results, after preserving their 100% record in some style.
