Repeating their clinical performance, Barcelona thrashed bottom side Cordoba 8-0 as they inch closer to the La Liga Title.

Uruguay striker Luis Suarez was the star of the match as he scored his first hat-trick after joining Barcelona from Liverpool this season, the BBC reported.

Argentina forward Lionel Messi scored twice to reach 51 goals for the season, while Gerard Pique, Ivan Rakitic and Brazilian forward Neymar scored one goal each.

Barcelona is currently two points ahead of Real Madrid in the points table, who survived a few nervous moments before defeating Sevilla 3-2.

Barcelona will secure the title if they win their last three La Liga games, even if Real Madrid wins all their remaining matches.
