Barcelona are showing no complacency and look like a side eager to wrap up the La Liga title early, says Terry Gibson.
Luis Enrique's side remain eight points clear of Atletico Madrid with 10 games remaining in the season having won 4-0 at Eibar on Sunday.
They are already in the Copa del Rey final against Sevilla in May and have a healthy 2-0 cushion going into their Champions League last-16 second-leg clash against Arsenal, and Gibson suggested they may look to rest players if the title is all-but wrapped up early.
He said on the La Liga Podcast: "I think what I'm seeing from Barcelona, and the whole attitude of Barcelona at the moment, is that the whole team want to get this done as soon as possible.
"They're in the Copa del Rey final, and I think it's part of the bigger plan, that they want to be in a very, very good position.
"Perhaps not focus solely on the latter stages of the Champions League, but to be able to rest players in the knowledge that there is a significant gap between them and Atletico and Real Madrid.
"There is no complacency about them; they are just romping through at the moment.
"In Barcelona we have a super team at the moment, in that they have three of the best strikers, if not the best three strikers, in the world playing in the same team."
The 4-0 win at Eibar included two goals from Lionel Messi and one from Luis Suarez, meaning the 'MSN' trio of Messi, Suarez and Neymar have now scored 100 goals between them in all competitions this season.
But Gibson focused his praise on former Liverpool forward Suarez, who has given Barcelona a new attacking dimension since arriving in the summer of 2014, according to the Sky Sports pundit.
He said: "I've been saying that I think this is the main difference between this Barcelona team and Pep Guardiola's Barcelona team, that they have, at times, brute force up front in Suarez.
"He gets Barcelona up the pitch. When teams are pressing high against Barcelona, which is this season's fashion, Barcelona can go long to the channels and he holds the ball up for the whole team to get up the pitch.
"In terms of their style of play he's given them a real addition to their armoury in how to break down defences."
