Luis Suarez and Leo Messi struck as Barcelona won 2-1 at Getafe on Sunday.

Messi scored his 399th La Liga goal and Luis Suarez netted with a stunning volley as Barcelona moved five points clear at the top of the table with victory at Getafe.

Argentine Messi opened the scoring in the 20th minute when he slotted in from a very tight angle.

Suarez doubled the lead with a venomous shot from the edge of the area.

Jaime Mata fired in to reduce the deficit before Jorge Molina missed an open goal for Getafe after the break.

"It was very hard and tricky with so many people in the way, but I managed to hit it well," said Suarez of his goal.

"The opponent played well, we knew their qualities, how they defend, and we knew how to get the points, although there's half a season to go."

On Messi he added: "Leo (Messi) is the best player in the world, wherever he plays. He's got details of a different class of player and to share the pitch with him is incredible."
