Barcelona strolled to pick maximum points and extend their advantage at the summit to five points ahead of Real Madrid's visit to Athletic Club this evening.

Lionel Messi registered his goal in added time.

For the Nigerian stars, Samuel Chukwueze was introduced in the 58th minute in Villarreal's away win. Manuel Trigueros' 90th goal was all the Yellow Submarine needed to pick the maximum points at the Abanca Bolaidos.

The club paid back hosts Celta Vigo in their own bad coins having been defeated at home 1-3 in the first leg.

With 10 matches to play, Villarreal's hope of top four finish and Champions League ticket remains intact being five points off the range.

Relegation-troubled Leganés paraded Super Eagles central defence pair of Kenneth Omeruah and Chidozie Awaziem in their home defeat, a result that compounded their woes leaving them at second from the base. Chidozie Awaziem's lack of communication with the goalkeeper gave Rueben Alcaras the opportunity to put the visitors in 2-0 lead before Oscar Rodriguez reduced the tally from the spot in the 84th minute.

Their resilient opponents Mönchengladbach remain at No 4.

Earlier Nigerian defender Jamiu Collins won his 27th Bundesliga shirt this season but witnessed his side Paderborn virtually going down.

With their heavy loss at home, Paderborn, who will face Anthony Ujah and Suleiman Suleiman Abdullahi of Union Berlin on Tuesday night, will be confirmed relegated if they lose.

For Ujah, who came in in the 63 minutes, it's now 19 matches without a goal, while his compatriot Abdullahi sat on the bench all through.
