FC Barcelona run the table in November
The team went five for five while taking over top spot in La Liga and winning Champions League Group E Neymar and Suárez led the team with seven goals each in the last 30 days
FC Barcelona have had a November for the ages, winning all four games played at Camp Nou, and routing arch-rivals Real Madrid at the Bernabéu in the only away game of the month. That's five wins between La Liga and Champions League play that have sent the Catalans to a four-point lead in the domestic table and have handed them Group E of the annual continental tournament.
Five straight routs
During their November run, it should be noted that the win over Villarreal put Barça into first place, while the win over Real Madrid — besides being Messi's first game back after two months out with injury — allowed them to extend their lead.
Here's a look at Barça's big month of November:
