: This was Messi ’s 35th La Liga hat-trick, surpassing Cristiano Ronaldo's previous record for the most hat-tricks in the league's history.

Barcelona established dominance early, with goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen providing a rare assist for Antoine Griezmann , who dinked the ball over the keeper in the 7th minute. Messi then took over, scoring two signature long-range curling strikes in the 17th and 41st minutes.

A major highlight of the match—and arguably the season—was Luis Suárez’s goal just before halftime. Receiving a pass from Frenkie de Jong , Suárez executed an audacious backheel chip from a tight angle that left the stadium in awe. Despite a spirited effort from Mallorca's Ante Budimir , who scored twice to keep the visitors fighting, Messi completed his hat-trick in the 83rd minute with a powerful shot into the roof of the net.
