Malaga 1-4 Barcelona - Barcelona overcome a slightly difficult game, as Messi scored another hat trick.

Messi opened in the scoring in the 33rd minute with a fantastic header, which arrowed in the top corner. Barcelona went into half time leading, and looking the far better side.

Alexis Sanchez doubled Barcelona’s lead after smashing in a goal, after a series of pressure from the visiting team. Lionel Messi scored his second just three minutes later after a great run, and good finish. With 8 minutes to go, Barcelona went 4-0 up, and this goal completed Messi’s hat trick, and another scintillating goal. Rondon pulled a goal back for the hosts, in a disappointing game for them.
