Lionel Messi and Neymar both scored to help Barcelona come from behind twice to beat Villarreal 3-2 and stay in the hunt for the Spanish league title on Sunday.
Villarreal's Denis Cheryshev struck on the half-hour mark to start the free-scoring match at Camp Nou.
Neymar made it 1-1 just before halftime, only for Luciano Vietto to finish off another Villarreal counterattack in the 51st.
But Barcelona hit back, and this time delivered a quick and decisive double blow.
Rafina pulled the hosts level for a second time in the 53rd, and two minutes later Messi fired home a long-range shot - his 32nd goal in 30 games in all competitions this season.
Barcelona stayed one point behind leader Real Madrid, which has a game in hand.
