SPORT: Messi reaches milestone as Barca stay top
Striker scores 400th career goal, Neymar hits hat-
trick in Barca's demolition, while Ronaldo on
target in Real's win.
Lionel Messi scored his 400th and 401st goals
for club and country, Neymar hit a hat trick and
Barcelona thrashed Granada 6-0 in the Spanish
league.
Earlier, Cristiano Ronaldo also found the net for
his sixth straight game in Real Madrid's 2-0 win at
Villarreal.
Messi's 358th goal for Barcelona, along with 42 for
Argentina, came with Barcelona leading 3-0 when
he headed in Dani Alves' superb one-touch cross
in the 56th minute.
He added number 359 for the Catalan club in the
82nd to cap the lopsided win.
Earlier, Ronaldo kept up his rich La Liga scoring
form to take Real Madrid up to fourth.
Villarreal were able to match Real's slick passing
for much of the game but their finishing let them
down. Luka Modric gave the visitors the lead on
the half hour with a drive into the corner from 20
yards.
Carlo Ancelotti gave his attacking players licence
to exchange position and Karim Benzema,
returning to the side, picked out Ronaldo to finish
clinically in the centre of the penalty area five
minutes from the break. It was his 10th league
goal this season.
Villarreal continued to press forward after the
restart with Mario Gaspar and Gabriel going close
with efforts but following the high tempo of the
first half both teams began to run out of steam.
Real now have 12 points from six games.
