Lionel Messi scored his 400th LaLiga goal as Barcelona defeated Eibar at the Nou Camp on Sunday.

Messi, the all-time leading scorer in the Spanish top flight, finished into the bottom corner for Barca's second.

The landmark goal comes in the Argentine's 435th league game.

Luis Suarez earlier put Barca in front by finishing a fine team move before tucking in his side's third in the second half.

"It was quite hard for us in the first half, as they were fresh and pressed," said Barca coach Ernesto Valverde.

"They're the team that press the best in all of the league.

"In the second half we dominated the match better and more goals arrived."
