LaLiga: Lionel Messi Brace Sends Barca To Top Of The Table

Lionel Messi Brace helps Barcelona overcome Real Valladolid 5-1 at Camp Nou and return to the top of La Liga on Tuesday night.
Barca went ahead with just over two minutes played as Clement Lenglet’s deflected volley went in off the bar following a corner.
But Valladolid hit back on a quarter of an hour when Marc-Andre ter Stegen failed to hold on to a fierce free-kick from the left and Kiko Olivas was there to poke home the rebound from close range.

The champions struggled to find their rhythm for a while after that, but they took the lead after 29 minutes when Messi picked out the run of Arturo Vidal and played an inch-perfect pass for the Chilean, who volleyed past Jordi Masip in some style to make it 2-1.
