Watch the video of Lionel Messi finding the top right-hand corner with a peach finish and give no chance to the goalkeeper.
Sevilla and Barcelona went head-to-head once again this season and it produced an exhilarating contest with Ernesto Valverde’s side coming out on top to secure three points at Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium.
Jesus Navas, the Captain of Sevilla opened the scoring in the first half and the equalizer came through Lionel Messi who struck the ball brilliantly to scored a volley goal four minutes later. Just when both the sides were settling for a draw to the half-time, Gabriel Mercado made full use of the space in Barcelona’s defence to lead the game.
When the Blaugrana looked rusty, they had a situation when Ousmane Dembele passed the ball to Lionel Messi. The Argentine, taking full use of the situation shifted the ball to his right leg to find the top right-hand corner with a peach finish which gave no chance for Tomas Vaclik. During the dying minutes of the game, Messi rounded off a hat-trick before Luis Suarez netted once in the injury time to win the game 4-2.
Watch the second goal of Lionel Messi. Showcases his weaker foot quality with sheer precision.
With these three goals, he secures his 50th hat-trick in his career, only one behind his rival Cristiano Ronaldo. He has scored 36 goals in 35 games against the side from Seville which is the most against any side in the La Liga.
Certainly, he was the centre of attraction on Saturday night following this stupendous outcome.
