If Africa Cup of Nations is your thing, then head your way over to our dedicated live text commentary as Tunisia face Cape Verde Islands, one of the last tournament's surprise teams.
French Ligue 1
Reigning Ligue 1 champions Paris St-Germain defeated Evian 4-2 to move within four points of leaders Lyon.
Cedric Barbosa gave the visitors the lead after Zlatan Ibrahimovic's error, but David Luiz headed in an equaliser.
Marco Verratti prodded home for his first league goal for PSG, before team-mate Gregory van der Wiel scored an own goal with a misguided header.
But Javier Pastore swept in Lucas Moura's cross and Edinson Cavani tapped in a fourth to seal PSG's victory.
Rennes and St Etienne drew 0-0, while we will bring you updates from Marseille v Guingamp later on. (20:00 GMT)
Italian Serie A
Gonzalo Higuain scored the only goal as Napoli beat Lazio to move above the hosts into a Champions League spot.
AC Milan's poor season continued as they were beaten 1-0 by Atalanta, with German Denis scoring the only goal.
Sampdoria moved above Lazio into fourth with a 2-0 victory at Parma, who are now bottom of Serie A.
Gianfrano Zola's Cagliari salvaged a late 2-2 draw at Udinese with Danilo Avelar scoring an injury-time penalty.
Khouma Babacar scored an injury-time winner as Fiorentina beat Chievo 2-1, while Torino beat Cesena 3-2.
Genoa and Sassuolo played out an entertaining 3-3 draw with Ioannis Fetfatzidis scoring the hosts' equaliser in stoppage time.
Leaders Juventus play Verona at 19:45 GMT in a game we'll be cover here after Depor v Barca.
Stoppage time? No need for that nonsense. It's break time.
Dane Le Page: I think Messi wants his Ballon D'or back... He's been back to his scintillating best since the turn of the year!!
Garry McCammon: First game since the Ballon d'Or. Messi is out to prove he's number one.
Just as Steve texts that, Luis Suarez has a chance when a high ball comes to him but he's just able to poke it at keeper Fabricio Agosto.
Steve in Kent: I'm sure Suarez will do well at Barca and win trophies. But he doesn't have the same swagger he did at Liverpool. Enormous loss for Liverpool and the Premier League.
Paul K: Messi should go to Chelsea and play on the right side of Diego Costa; with Eden Hazard on the left and Cesc Fabregas behind giving assists
Mdroka: Remarkable piece of skill, and yet another goal from Messi
'Funky_Mr_Adamz': Messi going for a hat-trick tonight!
Luis Suarez plays in Lionel Messi, who has a shot from the edge of the area but fires it just over the crossbar. It's end to end now.
Deportivo should have one back almost immediately as the ball is played across to Isaac Cuenca, formerly of Barcelona, and somehow he fires well off target from 12 yards out. It wasn't bouncing, he wasn't under loads of pressure. Such a waste.
Great goal by Lionel Messi, Neymar plays the ball to him, his beats a defender with his first touch and then chips the ball over grounded keeper Fabricio Agosto.
See 24 mins.
Deportivo have their first chance of the game as Ivan Cavaleiro bursts forward and beats a Barcelona defender but he gets too excited and his shot comes off the wrong side of his foot and goes well wide. A let-off for Barcelona.
Pass. Pass. Pass. Pass. Pass. Pass.
Barcelona striker Luis Suarez misses from close range after a ball over the top from Andres Iniesta but a flag is up for offside. Probably for the best.
He'd have put that in the net for Liverpool probably.
Deportivo have the ball! And they go past the halfway line too. But they get too excited and it's out for a throw-in.
Luis Enrique will be happy with what he's seen so far. Barcelona on top and Andres Iniesta pings a ball across the box but nobody is able to get on the end of it.
Just the 81% possession so far for the Catalans.
Josh Brannan: What a header from Lionel Messi - absolutely sublime goal
Barcelona have had most of the ball since the goal. Is this game over already? Let's hope not.
