Another hat-trick for Messi

LIONEL MESSI scored his fifth hat-trick of the season as Barcelona posted a comfortable win at Malaga.

Barca took control just after the half-hour mark as Messi gave Willy Caballero no chance with a powerful header from Adriano’s cross.

And the visitors made sure of the three points with two quickfire goals early in the second half as Alexis Sanchez fired home from close range before Messi got his second of the day with a wonderful run and finish.
