Barcelona: Hattrick from Lionel Messi saves victory in Sevilla

Thanks to Lionel Messi, FC Barcelona miss a tricky hurdle on the way to the next championship title. The superstar leads the leader thanks to three goals to 4-2 away win against Sevilla.

The 31-year-old Argentinian has almost single-handedly ensured the Blaugrana victory with a hattrick.

If there was a hint of doubt about Lionel Messi's top form, then we can forget about that after the 0-0 on Tuesday in the Champions League at Olympique Lyon.

Messi showed once more at FC Barcelona's 4-2 draw with Sevilla on Saturday that without him "Barca" will not work.

With three goals, the Argentinian scored the Blaugrana despite a two-time deficit at the Estadio Sanchez Pizjuan to victory.

Lionel Messi reached a remarkable 50th career hat-trick.
