Lionel Messi scored three and made another as Barcelona overcame
a rusty start to hammer Tenerife in the Primera Division.
The hosts were by far the better side in the opening half hour
and could have been three up within 15 minutes had Alejandro Alfaro
done better with a hat-trick of chances - but astonishingly Barca
went in at half-time 3-0 up thanks to two from Messi and a rare
Carles Puyol goal.
Messi completed his hat-trick after 75 minutes before Ezequiel
Luna's own goal completed a miserable night for Tenerife, as Barca
ensured Real Madrid would not finish the day on top of the league.
