Barcelona win against Celta Vigo: The triple dormant Messi

Celta de Vigo had fouled three times at the Nou Camp stadium to stop a dangerous chance for FC Barcelona. Celtas big problem: Three times lay down Lionel Messi the ball. Messi scored three goals in Barcelona's 4-1 (2-1) victory. And three times by a dormant ball.

The first goal was supposedly the simplest task for the six-time world footballer: He turned a hand penalty sure (23 minute). In his 2: 1 and 3: 1 goals, Messi had a little more distance to overcome. Once he came from 23 meters to the free kick (45. + 1), once from 22 meters (48.) - each with the same result. Both times he scored the ball over the wall and into the right corner, Celta goalkeeper Rubén Blanco flew in each case in vain.

For Messi it is the 34th hat-trick in the Spanish league, so he set the record of Cristiano Ronaldo. The Portuguese also scored 34 hat-tricks for Real Madrid between 2009 and 2018.

It is already the fifth defeat in a row for the last-placed Celta. Only four days ago, a new coach arrived with Óscar García. However, Lucas Olaza's (42nd) equalizer failed more than the equalizer. Sergio Busquets scored with a deflected shot the final score (85.).

Barcelona remain the league leaders, but remain tied to second-placed Real Madrid. Madrid won 4-0 in Eibar (3: 0) and are only two goals worse than Barcelona.
