Barcelona restored their six-point lead over Real Madrid in the Primera Liga on Sunday as a spectacular strike from Samuel Eto'o and a cool finish from substitute Lionel Messi contributed to a 2-0 win over Albacete.




The African Player of the Year notched up his 22nd goal of the season when he cracked a stunning first-time shot into the far corner to break the resistance from a stubborn Albacete. Messi added a second with a delicate chip in the final minute.

With four games left to play Barca have 78 points, Real follow on 72. Barca is amazing all seson long, even when the pressure is on they handle it really well. With remaining matches against València, Vila, Llevant and R. Sociedad I reckon Barca will need to win one more match and draw one to win the Spanish League.
