Lionel Messi's first hat trick of the season helped Barcelona beat Granada 4-0 and take a provisional lead of the Spanish league on Saturday.

Messi scored twice within the first 15 minutes at the Camp Nou, and added his third in the second half as Barcelona cruised to victory. Neymar closed the scoring late.

The victory lifts Barcelona one point above Atletico Madrid, which plays at fifth-place Celta Vigo on Sunday.

Barcelona will have a game in hand after the end of the 19th round this weekend.

Third-place Real Madrid is five points behind Barcelona. It hosts Deportivo La Coruna late Saturday in the debut of new coach Zinedine Zidane, who replaced the fired Rafa Benitez this week.
