Messi, Neymar setting pace as La Liga holder remains perfect

Barcelona boss Gerardo Martino was delighted with his side's first-half display as it brushed aside Real Sociedad 4-1 at the Camp Nou on Tuesday to extend its winning start to the league campaign to six games.

After being out-possessed for the first time in more than five years in the 4-0 victory over Rayo Vallecano at the weekend, Barca looked more like its old self with 68 percent of the ball as it pulled Sociedad to pieces in the first period.
