No Lionel Messi, no problem.
Inserted into the starting lineup in place of the recovering superstar, versatile youngster Sergi Roberto helped Barcelona open the scoring in the early minutes of Saturday's El Clasico against Real Madrid, threading a perfect ball through to Luis Suarez.
The striker did the rest.
Even without their best player, the Blaugrana continue to make football look so very easy.
The pristine pass was Roberto's fourth assist of the La Liga campaign, more than any other player on the club. Luis Enrique: prophet.
