Messi Stun Treble As Barcelona Move 10-points Clear Of La-Liga
Lionel Messi hit hat-trick of the highest quality as Barcelona avenged their defeat by Real Betis earlier in the season to move 10 points clear at the top of La Liga.
The Argentine hit a stunning hat-trick and the Uruguayan netted the other as Ernesto Valverde’s side made light of a potentially tricky trip to Seville.
Barca had lost their home game to Betis 4-3 earlier on this season and Quique Setien’s side competed well early in the game and Sergi Roberto made a goal-saving tackle from Cristian Tello in the opening minutes.
With the 4-4-2 formation in the absence of the injured Ousmane Dembele, Suarez and Messi were able punished their hosts, who beat them 4-3 at the Nou Camp in November, with a lightning-quick move.
Suarez found his forward partner with a back-heeled through-ball, that beat three Betis players, which was then turned in by the Argentine.
The Uruguay veteran striker Suarez scored a fine individual effort while Loren Moron grabbed Betis' only goal with a superb finish.
Of Messi's 33 hat-tricks in La Liga, this surely ranks as one of his finest.
