Lionel Messi scored a hattrick for FC Barcelona in their 5-2 win vs. Mallorca.
It was the Lionel Messi show and Lionel Messi week. A few days after receiving a record sixth Ballon d’Or, the Argentina captain lead his team to victory scoring a new record 35th La Liga hattrick.
Messi scored his first goal in the first half. He received the ball outside of the penalty area and a well placed curled shot beat the goalkeeper. Number two would prove to be just as sweet.
He would receive the ball once more outside of the area and just like his first effort, a great shot would make it 3-1 for Barcelona. His third would be just as beautiful.
Barcelona’s captain would receive the ball inside the area and a first time shot would rocket into the net.
Mauro Icardi scored for PSG in their 3-1 win vs. Montpellier.

Neymar is our heartbeat. But look at the movement from Mbappe and his ability to draw defenders away from Icardi. They all complement each other so well. Expect this front three to cause havoc. pic.twitter.com/SF59u237hz

Nicolas Otamendi scored for Manchester City as they lost the Manchester derby 2-1 to neighbors United.
It hasn’t been the best few months for Otamendi. With City’s title hopes all but mathematically gone, a win against Manchester United would have kept them in the race. Manchester United took a 2-0 lead up until late in the match.
Otamendi would score City’s only goal of the match, a header off a corner. The goal would be the only one for Pep Guardiola’s team.
GOAL!!!
