WATCH: Lionel Messi Takes The Mick With Sublime Assist For Paco Alcacer

Barcelona rounded off Luis Enrique's three year reign as manager at the Camp Nou by sealing their third consecutive Copa Del Rey, tonight.

Enrique's team ran out 3-1 winners over Alaves at the Vicente Calderon in Madrid, with Messi opening the scoring before laying on Paco Alcacer for the trophy sealing third goal.

The trophy is, staggeringly, the 30th of Messi's career and saved Barca from a trophyless campaign after they were pipped to the La Liga title by Real Madrid and eliminated from the Champions League by Juventus.

A one-two with Neymar was followed by a typically brilliant finish from the Argentinean to give the Blaugrana the lead. Just three minutes later, however, an outrageous free-kick from Theo Hernandez levelled matters.

After Neymar restored Barca's lead, Messi produced the moment of the match, receiving the ball on the near touchline before effortlessly bamboozling four Alaves players, leaving the poor bastards with twisted blood, before sliding an inch perfect through ball to the grateful Alcacer, who promptly did the rest.

Worth another Ballon d'Or on its own, that assist.
