Lionel Messi rips apart overmatched Rayo for beautiful hat trick
Welp, Messi is doing Messi stuff again.
The Barcelona forward is currently in the midst of taking utter advantage of an overmatched Rayo Vallecano defense to the tune of three goals.
Messi's first and most gorgeous goal thus far came in the 22nd minute thanks to some feathery footwork by Neymar.
GOOOALL!

Barcelona heads home from Madrid with a 5-1 win over Rayo.
Oh, and this win now gives Barcelona 35 unbeaten games in a row.
This really isn't fair.
