Lionel Messi scored two fine goals for Barcelona in their 5-0 victory over Celta Vigo on Saturday night.

Barca quickly reclaimed top spot in La Liga with the win, having briefly been usurped by Real Madrid.

Real had stormed to a 4-1 win at Eibar in the afternoon kick-off to move two points clear at the summit, but Barca, whose boss Luis Enrique announced earlier this week that he would leave his post at the end of the season, responded in style.

Messi showed sublime skill to skip past Cabral before curling a left-footed strike past the helpless Sergio Alvarez for his first goal.

The Argentina international would then produce another piece of magic after 64 minutes to score his second of the game.

He picked the ball up on the right flank, sliced inside two Celta defenders and left Alvarez rooted to his spot.
