Neymar, Suarez, Messi score as Barca beats Sociedad 4-0

Maicon and the rest of the Roma defence were on the back foot for the majority of the match.

“We know that every player has to fulfil their expectations”, Suarez said.

“I don’t think we are playing at our best and last season we were better”, he said.

Coach Rudi Garcia added: “Right now Barca is unstoppable, it’s not a coincidence that they beat Madrid 4-0”. Earlier in the day, Leverkusen drew with Borisov 1-1.

Barcelona were ruthless on the night and Roma was woeful as the Spanish giant celebrated Champions League Group E qualification.

Barcelona boss Luis Enrique meantime told his team’s news site this week that Messi is still not completely healthily.

Tel Aviv was reduced to 10 men five minutes before halftime when former Chelsea defender Tal Ben Haim was sent off for a rash challenge on Diego Costa, but it took Chelsea more than half an hour to double its lead, when Willian curled in a free kick.

Luis Enrique’s side backed up their 4-0 victory over Real Madrid last weekend with a 6-1 rout of Roma midweek and their progress shows no signs of slowing.

Messi was making his first league start in two months as he continues his comeback from knee ligament damage.

Suarez, meanwhile, has scored in six consecutive rounds, and remained second in the league with 12 goals.

Neymar misses the chance to score Barca’s sixth after his penalty is well saved by Szcehney only for Adriano to ram home the rebound. Iniesta picked out Jeremy Mathieu who in turn found the Brazilian for another tap in and his 14th goal of the season – which sees him lead the way as the top goalscorer in the Spanish league.

Astonishingly, the trio’s latest heroics meant that Messi, Neymar and Suarez have so far scored 125 goals between them in all competitions for Barca over the calendar year.

With Sociedad surrendered and the result beyond doubt, Neymar and Suarez went to pains to try and set up their strike partner. “Now we have very important games ahead of us, such as the World Club Championship (in December), I hope we can keep it up”, said the striker, whose words were reflected by coach Luis Enrique.

“Leo, Neymar and myself are team players and we look to help the team”. Following unbelievable footwork, Neymar played a one-two with Suarez before setting up Messi to score the fourth and final goal of the match and give Barcelona the three points.
