Villarreal gave the Camp Nou a slight scare when Cedric Bakambu equalised for the visitors, but overall, Barcelona didn't have it all that difficult on Saturday.

Neymar opened the scoring and Messi restored the lead, after which the Yellow Submarine barely threatened. Luis Suarez doubled the advantage and Messi added a second goal to his tally from the penalty spot.

Per WhoScored.com, the trio passed the 100-goal mark for the season in the process:

Real got back on level terms just a few hours later, easily beating lowly Granada. Los Blancos scored twice in the early goings to take the excitement out of the contest, and Morata and Rodriguez kept adding to the lead, making it 4-0 before the break.

Saul Niguez scored the only goal in Atletico's narrow win over Eibar, stretching their advantage over Sevilla to five points.

The Rojiblancos have little left to play for, and it showed at times against a feisty Eibar team. The visitors have enjoyed a spectacular season and pressured Atletico tremendously at times.

Godin played a key role in the goal but got himself sent off a little later after collecting two bookings in three minutes.

Carlos Carmona scored a huge goal for Gijon, who are battling for their La Liga future and grabbed an important win over Las Palmas. The result leaves them three points behind Leganes, who host Real Betis on Monday.
