Messi's first ever El Clasico hat-trick

It has been a decade since Messi netted his first ever hat-trick of his career. The 19-year-old scored a dramatic injury-time goal to complete the stunning hat-trick and earn 10-ean Barcelona a 3-3 draw at Camp Nou against arch-rivals Real Madrid.

Real took the lead on three occasions through Van Nistelrooy and Sergio Ramos but Lionel Messi was not ready to accept defeat. Barca was reduced to 10 men even before the break when the score was at 2-2. They played most of the second half on the back foot as Real continued to push for the winner.

With the 73rd-minute goal from Sergio Ramos, the game looked all but settled the tie but Lionel Messi had something else on his agenda. In the injury time, Ronaldinho picked up the ball on the left and threaded a pass to Lionel Messi with surgical precision.

Messi controlled the ball beautifully before unleashing a shot into the far corner leaving real distraught. The game finished 3-3 and it was an epic hat-trick is Clasico's history.
