A predictably excellent showing from Lionel Messi helped Barcelona to a 3–0 win over Osasuna.
It was Luis Suarez who opened the scoring on Saturday, but Messi who put the hammer down, deftly chipping in a diagonal ball from a streaking Jordi Alba and finishing neatly in the 72nd minute.
Now @TeamMessi gets in on the act. 0-2.

He went on to score again in stoppage time, dribbling past three defenders to set up a beautiful left-footed finish.
Cherry on top. @TeamMessi beats four to score.
