Lionel Messi netted yet another sensational hat-trick as Barcelona continued their seemingly unstoppable march towards the LaLiga title with a comprehensive 4-1 win over Real Betis.All three goals in Messi’s 51st career treble were memorable, with a superb free-kick to open being followed by a clinical link-up with Luis Suarez before the Argentinian finished things off with a delightful dinked effort.Suarez also got in on the act with a fine solo goal while Betis’ reply, from Loren, was also one for the highlights reel from a hugely entertaining encounter at the Benito Villamarin Stadium.

3Wow. Just wow.One of THE greatest hat-tricks of all time from Lionel Messi That third goal to complete it… Watch @LaLigaEN live and free on @ITV4 pic.twitter.com/cikw4EASqW— ITV Football (@itvfootball) March 18, 2019The two South Americans combined brilliantly again in first-half stoppage time, but this time Lopez could do nothing as Messi made it 2-0.Messi played a one-two with Suarez, whose clever back-heel put his team-mate through on goal, and the five-time Ballon d’Or winner lashed home his second of the night.Barca, who play Valencia in the Copa del Rey final and face Manchester United for a place in the Champions League semi-finals, set about trying to increase their lead in the second half and Suarez missed two good chances around the hour.However, Betis did not heed those warnings as, in the 63rd minute, Suarez did make it 3-0 when he escaped the attentions of three home defenders before coolly slotting past Lopez. The ensured the points would be heading home with Barca, but it was not the end of the scoring.Betis netted a deserved consolation in the 82nd minute when Loren side-footed into the top corner, but Messi ensured it would be him earning the headlines with yet another hat-trick.The Argentinian superstar beat Lopez with a perfect chip that went in off the underside of the bar in the 85th minute, and he almost added a fourth right at the death with a shot that came back off the post.Barca could hardly have asked for a better result heading into the international break, although the sight of the substituted Suarez limping off at the end could be a concern.
