It almost seemed scripted.
The Catalan club's trio entered the match with a combined 97 goals this season, and they hit the milestone courtesy of a ninth-minute Panenka from Messi, a 25th-minute volley from Suarez, and a 28th-minute finish from Neymar.
And Barcelona didn't let up there.
Luis Enrique's side added two more goals in the first half to carry a 5-0 lead into the interval, the last of which was scored by Suarez.
Then, only two minutes into the second half, Messi added to the thrashing with his second goal of the game, bringing the trio's total tally to 102 goals this season by the final whistle, and meaning that Messi, Suarez, and Neymar have combined for 72 of Barcelona's 97 La Liga goals in 2014-15 (74.2 percent).
Oh, and if that wasn't impressive enough ...
For the first time ever, Messi, Neymar and Suarez have all three scored ànd assisted a goal in a single Barcelona game #fcblive [via mrchip]
