What would Lionel Messi be worth? The star striker of Real's biggest rivals Barcelona put on another goal scoring show on Sunday as he hit for three recording his first hat-trick of the new season.

Barca starting with Messi and Neymar, and Valencia's Ricardo Costa seems particularly pleased to see him.

Cesc Fabregas, who started for the Catalans proving his importance, as he sets up the Argentina international for his first of the evening. Messi almost able to walk the ball in.

Six minutes before the interval, Messi went on another of his mesmorising dribbles, and that resulted in a second goal for him.

And Barca were three up before half-time when the ball comes out to Neymar. It looks at first like he will shoot, but instead he sets up Messi for the hat-trick goal, and despite a Valencia comeback, Barca won three-two to remain perfect early on in the season.
