Real rocked by Messi treble

The much-anticipated showdown at the Bernabeu got off to a flying start when Messi set up Andres Iniesta on the left of the 18-yard box, from where he drilled a left-footed strike into the roof of the net on seven minutes.
Karim Benzema levelled matters on 20 when he headed home a cross from Angel Di Maria, who set up the France international to make it 2-1 on 24, when Benzema controlled the ball before thumping a volley past Victor Valdes.
Gerard Pique denied Benzema a hat-trick two minutes later with a fine goal-line clearance, and it was 2-2 on the night when Messi jinked into the box and steered a low left-footed strike past Diego Lopez.
There was a melee in the aftermath of Messi's goal and both Pepe and Cesc Fabregas were booked after going head to head then hitting the deck theatrically.
The drama continued after the break as Carlo Ancelotti's hosts were awarded a controversial penalty on 55 minutes when Dani Alves was adjudged to have tripped Cristiano Ronaldo in the 18-yard box, with replays showing the foul took place just outside.
Ronaldo showed little mercy, however, stroking his spot-kick into the bottom corner for his 42nd goal of another prolific season.
Real were soon reeling as Ramos was sent for an early bath after the slightest of contact sent Neymar tumbling to the floor in the penalty box on 65, with Messi matching Ronaldo by guiding his spot-kick into the corner of the net.
Benzema was surprisingly withdrawn as Ancelotti looked to bolster his backline by sending on Raphael Varane, while Neymar made way for Pedro.
The game continued to ebb and flow but it was Barca who came closest to netting a seventh goal of the game, with Dani Alves thumping a low 18-yard strike against the upright when Lopez was beaten on 74 minutes.
Barca did make it 4-3 with five minutes remaining when Messi completed his hat-trick from the spot after Xabi Alonso clumsily brought down Iniesta.
Atletico Madrid's 2-0 win over Real Betis coupled with Barca's victory means the La Liga title race is building to a superb climax as Real and Atletico are locked on 70 points, with Barca now just one point behind in third place.
