Lionel Messi scored his 50th career hat trick last Saturday. It was his 30th hat trick for Barcelona, making him only 4 behind Cristiano Ronaldo for most hat tricks in La Liga history. At only 30 years old, and with Ronaldo continuing his career in Italy, it isn’t hard to think that Messi will end up surpassing him soon.
This set of three goals was particularly Messi-esq. The match was against Sevilla, a frequent high roller in La Liga, and a team always trying to break the Madrid-Atleti-Barcelona hold on the league.
