Lionel Messi hat-trick lifts Barcelona over Manchester CityALBERT GEA/REUTERS Lionel Messi, who scored a hat-trick, is fouled in the area by Manchester City's Aleksandar Kolarov resulting in a penalty to Barcelona. Lionel Messi scored his second hat-trick in as many Champions League games to give Barcelona a 4-0 win over Manchester City as Pep Guardiola and Claudio Bravo endured harrowing returns to the Nou Camp. Neymar had a late penalty saved by substitute Willy Caballero but the Brazilian made amends by scoring the fourth goal in the 89th minute. In other games, Mesut Ozil bagged a second-half hat-trick as Arsenal turned on the style to thrash Ludogorets 6-0 and move to the verge of the knockout rounds. Bayern Munich dispelled any doubts about its commitment by ending a three-match winless run with a comfortable 4-1 victory over PSV Eindhoven.
