Messi man of the century... again

-

LIONEL MESSI bagged a landmark 400th La Liga goal as Barcelona beat Eibar 3-0 to retain their five-point lead at the summit.

The all-time leading scorer in the Spanish top flight hit the milestone figure in just his 435th league game.

Luis Suarez scored twice but it was Argentina hitman Messi who took the plaudits at the Nou Camp.

Second-placed Atletico Madrid failed to make any inroads, despite Antoine Griezmann’s second-half winner from the penalty spot sinking Levante.

Runaway leaders Paris St-Germain extended their unbeaten run to 18 games in Ligue 1 with a 3-0 victory over Amiens.

But Thierry Henry’s struggling Monaco earned a precious point in their 1-1 draw at Marseille last night.

Ces Fabregas, following his arrival from Chelsea, played his part in Henry’s men earning a moraleboos­ting result in their battle to beat the drop.
