Barcelona hold on to the second spot, two points behind leaders Real Madrid, after hammering fifth placed Sevilla 5-1 on Saturday. The hero of the night was undoubtedly Messi, who helped himself to a hat-trick to pass Zarra’s all-time record as the highest scorer in the history of the league. The Argentinian superstar was under scrutiny after rumours that he was unsettled in the Nou Camp, but he had a penalty appeal turned down and a shot saved before he curled an impressive free kick in to the top corner of Beto’s net with just over twenty minutes gone. Jordi Alba and Neymar could have added to the lead at the end of the first half, but just a minute or so after the interval Vitolo crossed in from the left wing, and Alba deflected the ball in to his own net to level the scores. However a couple of minutes later Neymar got on the end of Xavi’s long centre following a set piece free kick to head his team back in front, and some twenty minutes in to the second half Rakitic headed in the third after Luis Suárez chipped the ball across from the right. Messi though took the spotlight after that, sliding in Neymar’s centre to beat Zarra’s 251 goals, and then picking up a return pass from Neymar to fire a low shot past Beto for the fifth. His colleagues lifted him in the air in celebration, and after the final whistle they applauded him off the pitch. A poster from the fans said it all, “a legend lives on”!
