The Barca captain, playing in this fixture for a  joint-record 32nd time, beat Diego Lopez with a perfect free-kick from 25 yards  that curled away from the goalkeeper's despairing dive.   Messi was leading Espanyol a merry dance and he set up Barca's second in the  26th minute, twisting and turning defenders on the edge of the box before  slicing the back four open with a fine pass for Dembele, who cut inside and  fired across Lopez into the top-right corner.Suarez and Messi hit the post in  quick succession as Espanyol completely failed to cope with Barca's attacking  movement and sublime passing, a third goal arriving before the break.   Dembele was the creator this time with a superb pass to Suarez, who slipped  his finish through the legs of Lopez from a tight angle.To their credit Espanyol  started the second half on top but they could do little to stop Messi, who beat  Lopez again with another unbelievable free-kick in the 65th minute, this time  from 30 yards.   Oscar Duarte saw a consolation goal ruled out for offside by VAR when he  volleyed in Sergio Garcia's free-kick, with Espanyol at least able to restrict  the damage to a four-goal defeat.</blockquote>
