Argentina star, Lionel Messi, set a new milestone after scoring in his 700th match for Barcelona and also set up goals for Luis Suárez and Antoine Griezmann as the Catalans beat Borussia Dortmund 3-1 on Wednesday night.

The 3-1 win was enough to seal a spot in the Champions League knockout stages for Barça as Group F winners.

Suarez put Barça in front at a packed and rocking Camp Nou in the 29th minute after having an earlier effort ruled out for offside before the Uruguayan set up Messi on his landmark night four minutes later.

Griezmann finished off a pass from Messi to further stretch Barça’s lead in the 67th minute and get a much-needed goal for his confidence after failing to score in his previous six appearances for the club.

Dortmund’s England forward Jadon Sancho scored an impressive consolation strike for the Germans in the 77th minute and then forced Barca keeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen to turn a shot on to the crossbar.

But the visitors’ strong finish could not tarnish a therapeutic win for Barça, who had come in for scathing criticism for their recent poor displays against Leganes and Slavia Prague.
