Hat-trick star Messi saves Barca with last gasp equaliser


by Phil Minshull

BARCELONA, (AFP) - Barcelona teenager Lionel Messi hit a spectacular hat-trick to save the Catalan club's blushes in the 3-3 draw with bitter rivals Real Madrid on Saturday.

The Argentine winger, who does not turn 20 until June, salvaged a point for 10-man Barca with a wonderfully taken goal a minute into injury time.

"Scoring all our goals, it was a special game for him. He's a magnificent talent. His goals saved us," acknowledged Barca coach Frank Rijkaard.

The reigning Spanish champions looked well on their way to their first La Liga defeat at home this season until Messi produced a move of individual brilliance before finding the net with his left foot.

"I said before the game that a draw would be two lost points but when you see what happened during the game you have to think that we had a success.

"I've got to applaud the team for showing such character in difficult circumstances to come back and get that third goal," added Rijkaard.

Derbies between the two Spanish giants, who both crashed out of the Champions League in midweek, are never short of entertainment but there was more than the usual ration of drama on Saturday even before Messi's final contribution.

A freak goal from Sergio Ramos had put Real ahead after 73 minutes after an astonishing first half hour which saw four goals, two apiece for Messi and Real's Ruud Van Nistelrooy.

An error by Barca defender Lillian Thuram helped Real take the lead after five minutes.

A quick counter-attack saw Gonzalo Higuain send the ball into the box but Thuram fell over while trying to clear the Argentine striker's cross and the mis-hit ball went straight to Van Nistelrooy's feet.

The Dutchman had no problems opening the scoring and, with a clear view of the goal, hammered the ball home from the edge of the area.

Real only hung onto their advantage for six minutes before Messi took advantage of the visitors' defensive frailty to sidefoot home a Samuel Eto'o pass from the edge of the six yard box.

However, just two more minutes elapsed before Real were back in front again.

Van Nistelrooy got his second goal of the night, and 14th of the season, from the spot after Oleguer Presas had fouled Jose Maria 'Guti' Gutierrez.

Messi then brought Barca back level again added to his tally by clinically taking his second goal after 28 minutes, mopping up after Ronaldinho had his effort parried away by Casillas.

Barca were then reduced to 10 men when Oleguer got his second yellow card in the dying seconds of the first half.

With Barca coach Frank Rijkaard having ambitiously opted to play a 3-4-3 formation from the outset, he was forced to shore up his defence at half time with Eto'o being replaced by the Brazilian defender Sylvinho.

Barcelona managed to slow the game down but Van Nistelrooy nearly got his third goal after 64 minutes when he was set free by Higuain but was thwarted by Valdes, who got an outstretched hand to the ball.

"We had several clear opportunities to get more goals but the Barcelona goalkeeper made many important saves," reflected Real's under-fire coach Fabio Capello.

Sergio Ramos put them back in front, the ball spinning backwards off his head from a Guti free kick and the Spanish international's expression clearly showed that it was a fluke.

In addition to Oleguer's dismissal nine other players were booked including Real's Malian midfielder Mahamadou Diarra, who misses next Sunday's game at home to relegation-threatened Gimnastic Tarragona.

Real's fighting performance will probably be enough for Capello to keep his job, at least for the moment.

After Real's exit from Europe, the Spanish media had been speculating that only a win would save his neck but a draw under these circumstances will probably suffice despite them staying in fourth place.

"For you I can never do anything right," added Capello, sarcastically mocking those journalists who have been predicting that this could be his last match in charge of Real.

The result temporarily returns Barca to the top of the Spanish first division but they will slip back to second if Sevilla get a point or more at Gimnastic on Sunday.
