French Blaugrana star Antoine Griezmann sent for a goal that was countered by Unai Simon just moments after the start of the second half.

However, it was just as the game entered the hour that it was Griezmann who broke the deadlock after completing a low pass sent by Frenkie De Jong.

Three minutes later in the 63rd minute, it was De Jong's turn to score a goal after continuing an assist from Jordi Alba.

Messi then created two special goals to complete Barcelona's big win which saw the team claim its first title this season.

In the 68th minute, the Argentine star brilliantly runs to meet De Jong's pass from his own area before firing a shot past goalkeeper Unai Simon.

Four minutes later, Messi scored another goal after clearing the ball from Jordi Alba which ended Barcelona's goal feast at the top of the Copa del Rey.
