MESSI SCORES HIS 50TH CAREER HATRICK TO RESCUE BARCA FROM DEFEAT AT SEVILLA
Joseph Omoniyi
Lionel Messi netted his 25th league goal of the season and 50th career hatrick to make sure Barcelona left Sevilla with all three points on Saturday.
LaLiga’s leaders twice went behind only for their captain to drag them ahead as he took his personal tally to 36 goals against Sevilla in all competitions, before Luis Suarez netted a late fourth.
Jesus Navas and Gabriel Mercado had put Pablo Machin’s side in the ascendancy, but a fourth game without a win has dealt serious damage to their Champions League ambitions.
