Internet Desk : Barcelona’s invincible trio of Lionel Messi , Luis Suarez and Neymar also known as MSN all scored on Saturday to beat the newly promoted side Leganes to bounce back in style from last weekend’s shocking La Liga defeat to Alaves .

The Madrid new comers started brilliantly in their maiden ever league meeting against Barca but their valiant approach to press high up the field was gone in vain when Suarez set up Messi for the opener before the Argentine returned the favour for Suarez to make it 2-0.

Suarez bagged another assist for Neymar to make it 3-0 just before half-time as the ‘MSN’ all found the net for the second straight game on a trot. Messi scored twice, and hit a bar, giving the Argentine five goals in two matches during a five-day span.

Playing just their fourth match in a top league in its history, Leganes opted to be valiant. They had reason to trust their coach, Asier Garitano, who had led the side from the third division to the first in just three years span. They started the season with a 1-0 win at Celta Vigo and a 0-0 draw against Atlético Madrid.
