Messi led Barcelona to a 5-0 rout of Eibar and put them back at the top of the standings. The victory at Camp Nou moved Barcelona two points ahead of Real Madrid, which can retake the lead when it visits Levante later Saturday.
Barcelona’s fourth league win in a row also helped ease some of the pressure on club president Josep Bartomeu who, before the match, was jeered by part of the crowd. Fans, who also called for his resignation, have not been happy with Bartomeu’s administration amid one of the club’s worst institutional crises, which includesa controversial coaching change andpublic conflicts between players and club directors.
"Messi has been doing this for the last 14 or 15 years, and he will keep doing it," Barcelona coach Quique Setien said. "He is a guarantee for any team or coach. He always comes through, either with goals or with assists." The fourth goal came in the 87th after he cleared Arbilla and goalkeeper Marko Dmitrovic to shoot into an open net.
