Madrid: Lionel Messi struck twice as Barcelona recorded their first win in four La Liga games to close gap on Real Madrid at the top of La Liga with a 3-0 win at Osasuna.
Barca should have killed the game off in the first half as Luis Suarez and Messi missed two big chances each against La Liga's bottom side.
However, Suarez rounded off a fine team move to break the deadlock just before the hour before Messi's double in the final 17 minutes moved him ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo as La Liga's top scorer with 11 for the season.
