Lionel Messi scored a stunning free kick and helped set up two more goals as Barcelona swept aside Deportivo La Coruna 4-0 away to surge five points clear at the top of La Liga on Saturday.
The Argentine World Player of the Year, who is up against team mates Xavi and Andres Iniesta for the FIFA Ballon d’Or on Monday, swept in a free kick in the 51st minute, having already set up striker David Villa for the opener in the first half.
Iniesta made it 3-0 from the edge of the area in 80th and almost immediately Messi’s driving run led to the ball breaking to Pedro, who lifted the ball into the net for the fourth.
The champions maintained their perfect away record in La Liga to move on to 49 points from 18 games.
