Lionel Messi scored his 30th hat-trick for Barcelona ad his 22nd in La Liga during their 4-0 win over Deportivo on Sunday night. The treble made him only the second player in history to reach 30 hat-tricks for a Spanish team after Telmo Zarra. It also meant he moved to 19 goals in 19 games as Barcelona reached the halfway point of the season in good form.
After recent rows between Barca coach Luis Enrique and senior players it was perhaps not insignficant that after picking 28 different team line-ups, the Catalans' boss finally repeated an 11.
It wasn’t just any 11 - iit was the one most supporters believe is his best and they delivered a performance to justify their selection. Bara almost scored from a corner on nine minutes when Ivan Rakitic rolled the kicked to Messi and his first time shot was tipped over by Fabricio. The pair combined again on 10 minutes and this time the move ended with Barcelona taking the lead.
