Barcelona moved a step closer to the La Liga title on Saturday, beating Sevilla 4-2 at the Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan thanks to a hat-trick from Lionel Messi.

The forward twice erased deficits after Jesus Navas and Gabriel Mercado scored first-half goals.

The Blaugrana pushed for a late winner and Messi delivered on the 85th minute, bagging his 50th career hat-trick.

Luis Suarez ended his goalless run in the 93rd minute to put the final score on the board.

The win pushed Barcelona’s lead to double-digit points in the standings, but Atletico Madrid still have a match in hand.
