It's a deserved win in the end, but they do have Ter Stegen to thank for a crucial save 10 minutes into the second half - had Rigoni taken that one-on-one chance, the hosts would have been level and the afternoon could have turned out very differently for Barça.

For the first time since Ronald Koeman took over at the Camp Nou, Barça have registered four LaLiga wins on the trot; for Elche, on the other hand, it is now 13 league games without victory, and they drop to 19th, two points shy of safety.

It should be noted that they have two games in hand on their fellow strugglers, though. as
