Barcelona coach Luis Enrique again praised the understanding shown by the Lionel Messi, Neymar and Luis Suarez "trident" after all three scored in Saturday's 4-0 La Liga stroll past Real Sociedad at the Camp Nou.
Barca were 2-0 up at half-time thanks to strikes from Neymar and Suarez, with the Brazilian getting a second after the break and Messi finally joining in the scoring in injury time after both his superstar attacking colleagues had been involved in the move.
For much of the second half, Neymar and Suarez appeared more concerned with getting Messi his first La Liga goal since Sept. 20, something the Blaugrana coach said in his postgame news conference was not an issue for him once the primary objective of winning the match was achieved first.
"Once the game is decided, they all look to score," Luis Enrique said. "It comes naturally to them. When the game begins, it is a different matter. They get along very well, and if they don't all score then the party is not complete for them."
Barca have now scored 14 goals and conceded just one while easing past Real Madrid, Roma and Real Sociedad in the space of eight days, but Luis Enrique said his team's best moment of the season has yet to arrive.
"I don't have the feeling this is our best moment," he said. "I believe last season we played better. We are playing very well, which is what is important to me. The team are enjoying themselves, that is undoubtable. We hope our best moment is still to come."
Asked if Barca in this form were scaring opponents, Luis Enrique did not reject the question.
"You'd have to ask our opponents that," he replied.
The result put Barca seven points clear of second placed Atletico Madrid and nine ahead of Real Madrid, who play at Eibar on Sunday.
"We must wait until the weekend is over before looking at that," Luis Enrique said. "There is a long way to go yet. We will all drop points at some point between here and the end of the season. We must go from game to game. Nobody wins La Liga in December.
"An important month is coming, with exciting La Liga games, the Club World Cup and the Copa del Rey."
Another clean sheet means the Catalan team have now conceded just twice in their last eight games in all competitions -- while the Asturian coach able to give run-outs to back ups Jeremy Mathieu, Adriano Correia and Marc Bartra.
"The team stiffening up is down to all the players," Luis Enrique said. "We must share out the playing time. [Mathieu] is a very important player for us, he can play very well in two positions. As a centre-half he has pace, and as a full-back he overlaps well."
Barca defender Dani Alves meanwhile insisted that his side would not get carried away after another majestic performance.
"We'll evaluate our performance at the end of the season, we won't let ourselves be weakened by praise," he told Canal Plus. "We still have areas to improve in. We'll look at every mistake that we need to correct. There's no such thing as a perfect team."
