Ranking the Top 5 Lionel Messi Hat-tricks in La Liga

#2 Barcelona vs Real Madrid ( 10/3/2007 )

This was the game when Lionel Messi showcased his incredible talent to the whole world. Only 23 players have scored a hattrick in El Clasico history, and then there is Leo Messi who did it at the age of 19. Madrid scored in the 4th minute but the Barcelona man calmly equalized with a low drive after he was left unmarked inside the box. Van Nistelrooy scored again but a remarkable run from Ronaldinho resulted in Messi’s second goal.

Ronaldinho beat several defenders and his shot was deflected by Casillas. The ball fell before Leo Messi who blasted it into the roof of the net to equalize for Barcelona. The third goal was magic in slow motion as the first beat Ivan Helguera with great ball control and Sergio Ramos’s last-minute slide could not prevent Messi’s strike. This was the first of many more mind-blowing performances from the little genius.
