L. SUAREZ WITH A BRACE, MESSI HIT 400TH LEAGUE GOAL AS BARCA DEALS WITH EIBAR
Barcelona restored their five-point lead at the top of LaLiga after a 3-0 win over Eibar that saw Lionel Messi score his 400th league goal.
Lionel Messi became the first player to score 400 LaLiga goals on Sunday as Barcelona cruised to a 3-0 victory over Eibar at Camp Nou.
After an unusually quiet first 45 minutes, Messi burst into life after the restart and claimed his milestone goal – his 13th in eight appearances against Eibar.
Luis Suarez had given Barca the lead with their only shot on target in the first half, and he doubled his tally six minutes after Messi’s moment in the spotlight with a composed finish from an angle.
That was enough to seal a sixth win in a row for Barca in the league, and a ninth successive over Eibar since their promotion to the top flight.
