Messi scored with a great run in the 42nd and added a penalty in the 76th, giving Barcelona a provisional 11-point advantage over Atletico Madrid, which plays at Valencia later Sunday. Munir El Haddadi opened the scoring in the eighth minute after a cross by Luis Suarez, who netted his league-leading 26th goal in the 84th.
