Messi plays Iniesta down the right. From the byline, the Spaniard plays the ball across the box, where PUYOL is there to tap the ball into the back of the net.

Malaga have equalised. A cross from the right-hand side by Gamez finds Rondon

The Argentinian passes it into the bottom right-hand corner of the net to make it 2-1.

From the spot, he fires it into the top right-hand corner of the net, and he’s equalled Gerd Muller’s record of 67 goals in a season. Unbelievable.

Messi scores his hat-trick. He’s put through by Iniesta, and races through on goal. Kameni comes out, and the Argentinian just flicks the ball over him
