Messi magic means treble-treble no longer just a dream for brilliant Barcelona

The Argentine netted another superb strike as Ernesto Valverde's side took another step towards the title. Can anyone stop them winning it all?

The expectations at Barcelona are huge these days. Every summer, as the season starts, press and fans talk of winning the treble. What was previously considered extraordinary is now seen as something almost routine for the Blaugrana.

Barca are, of course, the only club to have won two trebles. The first of those arrived in 2008-09 under Pep Guardiola, with the second coming in 2014-15 with Luis Enrique in charge. And Lionel Messi, naturally, was at the forefront both times.
