Lionel Messi struck a hat-trick, including two brilliant free-kicks, as champions Barcelona got back to winning ways against Celta Vigo in La Liga. Real Madrid had earlier beat Eibar 4-0 to move first in the table, but with this result, Barcelona, who were condemned to a shock 3-1 defeat by Levante last weekend, reclaimed the top spot on goal difference. Barcelona will meet Real Madrid on December 18 in El Clasico.
