Messi, Suarez, Neymar surpass 100 goals for 3rd straight campaign

Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, and Neymar all scored Saturday against Villarreal, taking the vaunted "MSN" triumvirate past the 100-goal threshold for the third consecutive season.

The trio reached a century of goals courtesy of Neymar's deft toe-poke and Messi's deflected shot just before halftime.

Suarez's angled drive in the second stanza made it 101, while Messi's smooth Panenka from the penalty spot brought the total to 102.

Barcelona won the contest 4-1 to keep the pressure on title rival Real Madrid.
