"The La Liga championship saw two more matches of the 19th round played on Sunday evening. The league leaders Barcelona welcomed the Eibar team at home. Ernesto Valverde's team had no major problems - they defeated their opponents 3-0. On the 19th minute, Luis Suarez put the hosts ahead after an assist from Philippe Coutinho.

Meanwhile, L. Messi scored his 400th goal in the La Liga championship. Barcelona is now 5 points ahead of Atletico Madrid. In the last match of the evening, there was a real dessert - Sevilla's Real Betis hosted Real Madrid. Santiago Solari's defensive tactics were not disappointed, but Dani Ceballos' goal at the end of the match returned Madrid to the path of victory. Luka Modric scored a great goal in the 13th minute, putting the visitors ahead. In the first half, Real played defensively and left no hope for the opponents, but Real Betis found a way to break through the opponent's defense in the second half. Real Betis dominated the opponent's half in the second half until Sergio Canales equalized in the 67th minute. Madrid needed a goal, but in the attack S.
