Watch: Messi, Neymar, Suarez all score in Barcelona win; Real Madrid smashes Granada

Highlights and more from Barcelona's game against Villarreal in the La Liga title race.

In a crucial matchday in the La Liga title race, Barcelona took care of Villarreal at home and real Madrid smashed Granada away to keep Real Madrid on top with just a few games remaining. 

Neymar kept up Barcelona's push for the La Liga title by scoring the opening goal, but the lead didn't last for long as Cedric Bakambu equalized later in the first half. 

Neymar buried his chance after a bit of disjointed build-up play, holding his run until the last millisecond before pouncing on a Lionel Messi service in the penalty box:

However, Lionel Messi ensured that Barcelona would go into the locker room with a lead as he finished a signature goal, knifing through the Villarreal defense and unleashing a low-flying rocket directly to the opposite corner of the goal.
