Will they reach the total of 100 goals in La Liga?

These are the questions being asked on Sunday - in Spanish newspapers, radio chats, blogs and bars - after Guardiola's slick side slaughtered hapless Valladolid 6-0 on Saturday.

Barca are the form team of Planet Football at the moment: solid in defence, exquisite in midfield - and devastating in attack.

Valladolid were torn to shreds despite the absence of Andres Iniesta, out for six weeks with a calf injury.
