SEVILLE, Spain (REUTERS) - Lionel Messi scored his 50th career hat-trick to flare Barcelona to a 4-2 win at Sevilla on Saturday (Feb 23) after the champions had twice fallen behind, giving the Catalans a 10-point guide at the summit of La Liga.Sevilla, who have abandoned won when in the league in 2019, took the guide midway through the first half through veteran winger Jesus Navas but were soon pegged help by an unstoppable volley from Messi.The home side capitalised on drowsy defending from Barca to re-take the guide since halftime as Gabriel Mercado pounced in the area. Barca coach Ernesto Valverde made two attacking changes at the begin of the second times by introducing Ousmane Dembele and Sergi Roberto and got the intended response when the France winger laid the ball off to Messi just inside the place and the Argentine lashed it into the summit corner.Messi, who has struggled for form in recent weeks due to a niggling injury, looked on a mission to grab the winner and after twice coming near he completed his treble to put Barca ahead in the 85th minute, reacting quickly to a needy Sevilla clearance to dink the ball higher than goalkeeper Tomas Vaclik.Luis Suarez made determined of the points by scoring deep in stoppage time, chipping Vaclik after living thing played through by a pass from Messi. Barca guide the standings on 57 points after 25 games though second-placed Atletico Madrid have 47 but can cut the gap help to seven when they host Villarreal on Sunday.Sevilla fell to fifth, slipping out of the Champions League places in back Getafe.MESSI DELIVERS
"Messi is decisive and superlative, all team has decisive players but we have the best in the world," said Barca coach Ernesto Valverde."It's not just his goals either, but because he always delivers in the right place at the right time."Sevilla had endured a humiliating 3-0 loss at struggling Villarreal last week but since the game Valverde warned of the Andalusians outstanding book at their Sanchez Pizjuan, where they had thrashed genuine Madrid 3-0 and beaten Barca 2-0 in the Copa del Rey this season.They took the guide through a lightning fast counter-attack as Wissam Ben Yedder marauded down the pitch and played in Navas, who took one adjoin to manage and the extra to slide the ball through the legs of the diving Gerard Pique and higher than the elongated Marc-Andre ter Stegen into the bottom corner.Sevilla's intensity prevented Barca from replicating their usual sleek passing game and it took a superb objective from Messi to pull them level, the Argentine swivelling to meet a heated from Ivan Rakitic on the volley, rejection Vaclik when no chance.Sevilla are Messi's favourite victims, and last year he came off the bench to score twice in two minutes and rescue a 2-0 charm from 2-0 down.He went one improved this times and has now scored 36 times in 37 games against the Andalusians."It's always tough to win here, we know what it is when to arrive to this stadium and how fine Sevilla's players are, they made things unconditionally difficult for us by taking the guide but we knew how to overcome all that," Messi added.It was his 44th hat-trick for Barca, when 32 coming in La Liga, eight in the Champions League, three in the Copa del Rey and one in the Spanish Super Cup. He has then struck six trebles for Argentina.
By Rory Smith . BARCELONA, Spain — Still, they gasp. Still, after all this time, after all he has done, long after his brilliance should have become commonplace, after our expectations should have been adjusted and our capacity for surprise dulled, Lionel Messi can still draw the breath and dazzle the eyes and bring a crowd of nearly 100,000 to its feet.
