BARCELONA - Lionel Messi created a goal and scored another as Barcelona came from behind to beat struggling Rayo Vallecano 3-1 at home on Saturday and stay seven points clear at the top of La Liga.
The Madrid side’s unlikely lead at the Nou Camp lasted a quarter of an hour and ended when Messi whipped in a free kick for Gerard Pique to appear unmarked and head home. Record signing Philippe Coutinho started instead of Dembele but yet again failed to dovetail with Suarez and Messi in attack and missed the target with both chances which fell his way.
The win, which followed successive victories over Real Madrid in the league and Copa del Rey, restored Barca’s seven-point gap over nearest challengers Atletico Madrid, who earned a 1-0 victory at home to Leganes.
