Tenerife 0 - 5 Barcelona
Spanish La Liga 2009/10

Note: About 10 minute of the game was edited out to match the 90-minute tv program, but you won't miss any goal and the game's excitement.

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.
