Another league match that the current champions and leaders had to play, this time against Eibar. The culés needed the victory to maintain the distance with Atletico Madrid, while Mendilibar's team needed points to escape the relegation positions that are lurking.

The encounter began and to the surprise of the culés, the set visitors did not go to defend itself and to take advantage of any carelessness of the Barcelona, the first 15 minutes of party were of high pace and round trip for both teams, without managing to concretize any occasion.

To the 19 minutes of party, after a beautiful play woven by Coutinho, Suarez, Busquets and Arthur would finish in goal for the Pistolero and in goal for the Barcelona that went out rushed by this great play.

52 minutes marked the chronometer and after a high recovery by Suarez and after a play with Coutinho, the ball would end up falling on the feet of Messi after assistance by Suarez and Rosarino with a cross shot beat at Risk and thus managed to score his goal #400 in the league, a real barbarity.

Five minutes later, Sergi Roberto served a ball from a lateral to Luis Suarez and the charrúa with an exquisite definition of 3 fingers managed to beat Riesgo once again.

A 3-0 victory for Barcelona, that without being very superior to the rival achieved in the same way by its hierarchy a wide victory over the Eibar.

Special mention: Coutinho, the Brazilian played a game that undoubtedly needed to increase confidence and Valverde's confidence in him.
