It was his sixth hat trick in the Champions League, Messi holds the record for the most trebles with seven. Real Madrid moved through to the semifinals with a 4-2 win on the night, 6-3 on aggregate.
Meanwhile, Jamie Vardy scored in vain as Leicester City’s Champions League fairytale came to a valiant end following a 1-1 quarterfinal draw at home to Atletico Madrid on yesterday.
Seeking to overturn a 1-0 first-leg deficit, Leicester fell further behind to Saul Niguez’s first-half header, before Vardy’s 61st-minute strike gave them hope.
But despite heavy Leicester pressure and furious noise inside the King Power Stadium, Atletico completed a 2-1 aggregate win to reach the semifinals for the third time in four seasons.
Leicester had hoped to become the competition’s first debutant semifinalists since Villarreal in 2006, but they were unable to engineer a repeat of their last-16 triumph against Sevilla.
