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 once 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 sleepy defending from Barca to re-take the guide back halftime as Gabriel Mercado pounced in the area. Barca coach Ernesto Valverde made two attacking changes at the start of the second time by introducing Ousmane Dembele and Sergi Roberto and got the meant wave once the France winger laid the ball off to Messi just inside the area 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 close he completed his treble to put Barca ahead in the 85th minute, reacting quickly to a poor Sevilla clearance to dink the ball beyond goalkeeper Tomas Vaclik.Luis Suarez made definite of the points by scoring deep in stoppage time, chipping Vaclik after inborn played through by a pass from Messi. Barca guide the standings on 57 points after 25 games even though second-placed Atletico Madrid have 47 but can reduce the gap help to seven once they host Villarreal on Sunday.Sevilla fell to fifth, slipping out of the Champions League places at the back Getafe.MESSI DELIVERS
"Messi is decisive and superlative, every 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 area at the right time."Sevilla had endured a humiliating 3-0 loss at struggling Villarreal last week but back the game Valverde warned of the Andalusians outstanding collection 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 quick counter-attack as Wissam Ben Yedder marauded the length of the arena and played in Navas, who took one adjoin to rule and the extra to slide the ball through the legs of the diving Gerard Pique and beyond the outstretched Marc-Andre ter Stegen into the bottom corner.Sevilla's extremity prevented Barca from replicating their usual slick passing game and it took a superb direct from Messi to pull them level, the Argentine swivelling to meet a gnashing your teeth from Ivan Rakitic on the volley, rejection Vaclik once 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 pull from 2-0 down.He went one augmented this time and has now scored 36 time in 37 games adjoining the Andalusians."It's always tough to win here, we know what it is once to arrive to this stadium and how good Sevilla's players are, they made things enormously hard for us by taking the guide but we knew how to overcome every that," Messi added.It was his 44th hat-trick for Barca, once 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 after that struck six trebles for Argentina.
