Neymar scored twice and Luis Suarez added another goal to help Barcelona ease to a 3-0 win over BATE Borisov and move closer to qualifying for the Champions League knockout rounds on Wednesday.

While the injured Lionel Messi watched from the Camp Nou stands, Neymar converted a penalty on the half-hour mark.

Suarez scored in the 60th minute before setting up Neymar to cap the victory in the 83rd.

Since Messi tore a left-knee ligament on Sept. 26, Neymar and Suarez have combined for 17 of Barcelona's 20 goals.

Barcelona leads Group E with 10 points. There are two matches remaining.

Roma beat Bayer Leverkusen 2-0 in the other group match to move into second with five points. Leverkusen has four points and BATE three.
