Barcelona remain in pole position in the Spanish league after securing a 5-0 win over their rivals Espanyol earlier today.
The Turkish international midfielder Arda Turan once again started on the bench for the catalan giants. Turan came on in the 73rd minute in place of Andres Inisesta.
The former Atletico Madrid star was unable to play for the first six months of his Barcelona career due to a FIFA imposed transfer ban on the club.
Turan has gone onto make just nine starts for the Catalan giant and has been linked with moves away from the club.
