Barcelona, Spain (SportsNetwork.com) - Barcelona produced a strong second-half performance at Camp Nou on Saturday to move to within one point of first-place Real Madrid with a comfortable 5-0 defeat of Cordoba. With the La Liga leaders away at the FIFA Club World Cup, Barcelona seized the opportunity to close the gap, running rampant with four goals after the halftime interval. The Catalans wasted little time in breaking the deadlock as Pedro put the hosts in front after only two minutes, latching on to Ivan Rakitics ball over the top and firing a quick shot into the roof of the net from close range. Cordoba stayed within touching distance until the 53rd minute when Luis Suarez doubled Barcelonas advantage. The Uruguayan collected a square pass from Andres Iniesta and poked a shot into the back of the net from the top of the six-yard box. Gerard Pique made it three in the 80th minute by nodding a set piece just inside the near post, and Lionel Messi wrapped up the affair with a brace inside the final eight minutes. The Argentines first of the match came in the 82nd minute when he pounced on a failed clearance and sent a first-time effort into the roof of the net. He completed the rout on the stroke of full time with a splendid turn and quick- fire shot with his right foot. The result sees Barcelona rebound from a scoreless draw with Getafe last time out to move to 38 points on the season. Cordoba, meanwhile, remains in the relegation zone on 11 points. Real Sociedad squandered an opportunity to grab three points on Saturday as a late penalty from Andreas Ivanschitz doomed the club to a 1-1 draw at Levante. Also on Saturday, Francisco Alcacer nabbed the lone goal in Valencias 1-0 victory at Eibar while Sergio Garcia netted a brace in Espanyols 3-1 win at Rayo Vallecano. Stephon Gilmore Jersey .

The Welsh won their second straight title in 2013, but only after losing 30-22 at home to Ireland in the first round. That experience looks to have swayed coach Warren Gatlands thinking, with the New Zealander going with the tried and tested and deciding against picking any new faces. "We were a little bit slow starting last year and we know we need to start well on Feb. 1," Gatland said on Tuesday. "Weve picked a pretty experienced squad and kept it fairly tight at this stage." Centre Jonathan Davies was included, even though he will miss the first three rounds with a chest injury sustained during the November test series. Sam Warburton also hasnt played since the autumn internationals because of a shoulder injury but is named as captain. Gethin Jenkins is one of the props, although there are concerns over the state of his knee after he was injured in Cardiffs loss to Toulon in the Heineken Cup at the weekend. Thhe Welsh are aiming to become the first team to win three straight Six Nations.dddddddddddd "We have got an opportunity to create history and that is something we will focus on and something that will give us extra motivation," said Gatland, who handed over the reins to assistant Rob Howley for the 2013 tournament while he concentrated on his role as British Lions coach. "We have got the three games at home and two tough away games but when we won the Grand Slam in 2008 and 2012 we had these fixtures so we know it can be done." Wales away games are against Ireland and England. ------ Wales: Forwards: Paul James, Gethin Jenkins, Ryan Bevington, Richard Hibbard, Ken Owens, Emyr Phillips, Adam Jones, Samson Lee, Rhodri Jones, Alun Wyn Jones, Luke Charteris, Ian Evans, Andrew Coombs, Ryan Jones, Justin Tipuric, Sam Warburton (captain), Toby Faletau, Dan Lydiate, Aaron Shingler.
