Unstoppable Messi Scores Fourth Straight Hat-Trick, Reigniting Barcelona’s Title HopesUnstoppable Messi Scores Fourth Straight Hat-Trick, Reigniting Barcelona’s Title Hopes Lionel Messi continues to defy logic, scoring an astonishing fourth consecutive hat-trick as Barcelona dispatched Levante 5-0 at Camp Nou. The Argentine maestro has now netted 12 goals in his last four appearances, reigniting the Catalans’ hopes of reclaiming the La Liga title. Messi opened the scoring with a trademark left-footed strike from the edge of the area in the 14th minute. Ten minutes later, he doubled Barcelona’s lead with a superb free-kick that curled over the wall and into the top corner. The hat-trick was completed just before half-time when Messi converted a penalty, sending the goalkeeper the wrong way. Levante offered little resistance after the break, and Messi added two more goals to his tally. His fourth goal came in the 65th minute, a clinical finish into the bottom corner after a lightning-fast counter-attack. Four minutes later, he completed the scoring with a thunderous strike from outside the box. Messi’s incredible run of form has not only revived Barcelona’s title ambitions but has also further cemented his legacy as one of the greatest players of all time. He is now just three goals away from becoming the all-time leading scorer in La Liga. Barcelona manager Ronald Koeman was full of praise for his talisman, saying: “He’s extraordinary. We’re lucky to have him. He’s the best player in the world, and he’s proving it week after week.” Messi’s heroics have lifted Barcelona to second in the La Liga standings, just one point behind leaders Atletico Madrid. With eight games remaining, the title race is now wide open, and Messi’s unstoppable form suggests that Barcelona have every chance of emerging victorious.
