Gerard Pique headed in the third at 53th minute and Pedro drowned the Espanyol side with a 77th minute fourth goal. Messi heightened their opponent's ill-luck with a 81th minute goal. The victory saw Barcelona climb to second place behind first-placed Real Madrid. Messi stays 2 goals behind Real Madrid rival Cristiano Ronaldo's 23rd La Liga goals.
