Barcelona welcomed Catalan rivals Espanyol to Camp Nou on Sunday afternoon knowing that a win could see them lift the La Liga title once again with one game to spare.
At the half-time break, the home side led 1-0 courtesy of an eighth-minute free kick from Lionel Messi.
The Catalan side then made it 2-0 in the 52nd minute through Luis Suarez, before the Uruguay international scored his second just past the hour.
Rafinha and Neymar then made it four and five for Barcelona, but the league leaders will have to wait until next weekend to determine whether they are crowned champions.
Read how it all unfolded in Sports Mole's minute-by-minute live commentary of the action below.
