L. Messi showed his magic again, and "Barcelona" returned to the path of victory

"Camp Nou" stadium on Saturday evening hosted the fifth round of the Spanish "La Liga" championship matches. "Barcelona", after a loss in the previous round, tried to bounce back against Vigo's "Celta". In a match marked by Lionel Messi, "Celta" was powerless - Barcelona triumphed with a score of 4:1. Vigo's "Celta" with a new coach started the game strongly, but in the 23rd minute was punished for their mistake - a defender played with his hand in the penalty area. Lionel Messi scored accurately from the penalty spot and put the hosts ahead. However, in the 42nd minute, "Celta" defender Lucas Olaza equalized the score with a great penalty shot. The visitors from Vigo did not enjoy the equal score for long - just before the end of the first half, Barcelona's star L. Messi responded with an identical penalty shot. In the second half, the Argentinean once again had the opportunity to take a penalty from almost the same situation. "Celta" goalkeeper could not save Messi's shot - the forward again sent the ball into the net with almost the same shot. Scoring three goals, L. Messi equaled Cristiano Ronaldo's record of "hat-tricks" in "La Liga" championships - 34. Sergio Busquets sealed the final point at the end of the match, and "Barcelona" celebrated the victory, returning to the top of the standings. "Celta" remains in 18th place with 9 points.
