Lionel Messi's unfortunate hat-trick against the woodwork
Messi struck the frame of the goal three times against Depor
Now the Argentine has hit the woodwork 14 times this season
Lionel Messi hit the woodwork three times in the 4-0 win over Deportivo de la Coruna on Sunday at Camp Nou.
The first was in the 37th minute, when Messi's effort from inside the box hit the crossbar. Then in the 43rd minute he hit the post, but Paulinho converted the rebound.
Then in the 67th minute he hit the post again with a free-kick. Although it seems impossible, against Betis earlier this season Messi had another hat-trick int he same vein - the first match of the season in La Liga.
In total he's hit the woodwork 14 times in La Liga and Barcelona 26 times. The 25th led to another goal, with Paulinho on hand to finish after Alba hit the post.
