Barcelona recorded a comfortable 4-1 win over 5th placed Villarreal to keep the pressure on league favorites, Real Madrid, as we enter the last few games of the season. The Blaugrana maintain their position at the top of the table with the win but Los Blancos are breathing down their neck, level on points and below only due to an inferior head-to-head record, albeit having played a game less.
Neymar opened the scoring for Barcelona with a poked finish after latching onto Lionel Messi’s deflected pass, however, the Brazilian was offside when the pass was played. Villarreal equalised through Cedric Bakambu, who excellently beat the Barcelona offside trap before Messi scored his 50equalised through Cedric Bakambu, who excellently beat the Barcelona offside trap before Messi scored his 50equalised through Cedric Bakambu, who excellently beat the Barcelona offside trap before Messi scored his 50equalised through Cedric Bakambu, who excellently beat the Barcelona offside trap before Messi scored his 50th goal of the season to give Barcelona the lead with the last kick of the first half.
Luis Suarez then added a third with a well-placed finish after another marauding run by Sergi Roberto. Messi completed the rout with his 51st goal of the season when he chipped the ball from the spot after the Catalan outfit won a penalty for a handball by Jaume Costa. In the buildup to the 4th goal, Neymar was ‘GUILTY’ of pulling off an ‘OUTRAGEOUS’ skill to get the better of his marker Mario Gaspar, as he flicked the ball above the defender, leaving him for dead.
Twitter, as you would expect, went wild and here are the best tweets:
Some ‘Messi’merization to begin with!
DENTIST?
What has he done to us, sane humans?
Is that the real reason?

Now we know, who to blame if it doesn’t happen!
Pure FILTH by Neymar....
The enigma that is Luis Suarez, forever diving opinions.
MSN – Nuff said
The inevitable Messi-Ronaldo comparison!
