Barcelona attacker Lionel Messi has revealed his delight after his team's 7-0 win over Valencia in the first leg of their Copa del Rey semi-final.

Messi took home another match ball following a treble on Wednesday night, while Luis Suarez struck four times as the Catalan giants all but secured their spot in the final of the competition once again.

The Argentine took to Facebook after the match to pay tribute to his teammates.

"A great game from the whole team tonight. We need to keep working hard to accomplish our goals," Messi posted on his personal page.

The 28-year-old, who was crowned the Ballon d'Or winner for 2015 last month, has now scored 37 career hat-tricks.
