Lionel Messi shined as Barcelona pulled of their sixth LaLiga victory over Eibar with three unanswered goals on Saturday.

Barcelona started the game so fiercely as early as after only five minutes when Luis Suárez unleashed an excellent shot, which came so close to hitting Eibar's net.

Antoine Griezmann had opened the scoring for the Blaugrana after only thirteen minutes when the French international received a great long ball from Lenglet, putting him on a one-on-one position as he calmly beat the keeper, netting the first goal.

Eibar's goalkeeper brought into action as his save denied Messi's shot from getting into his net. The Referee canceled Suárez's 48-minute goal due to an offside.

Eibar's goalkeeper brought into action again in the 55th-minute as his save prevented Suarez shot from getting into his net. Messi shined in the 58th minute, adding the second for his side when he unleashed a shot into the left far corner.

Messi Delivered an Impressive Performance with Barca

Suarez added the third for the Spanish League champions when Messi received a beautiful through ball from Griezmann, who decided to give Luis Suárez an easy tap-in.

Notworthy, the Clasico between Barcelona and Real Madrid postponed due to protests in Catalonia. Barcelona and Real Madrid agreed on a new date for the Clasico, which were set to be held on Saturday, October 25 at Camp Nou Stadium.

Both Spanish clubs issued statements on Friday, confirming that they have agreed on Wednesday, December 18 as a new date for the Clasico.
