Messi nets 400th Barcelona goal

Lionel Messi scored the 400th goal of his Barcelona career as the Catalans beat Champions League-chasing Valencia 2-0 at the Camp Nou on Saturday.

Real Madrid remains just two points behind Barca at the top of the table as goals from Sergio Ramos, James Rodriguez and Cristiano Ronaldo secured a 3-1 win over Malaga despite a rare missed penalty from Ronaldo.

However, victory came at a cost for the European champion as Gareth Bale and Luka Modric hobbled off with injuries just days before its decisive Champions League quarterfinal clash with Atletico Madrid.
