Messi and Suárez, kings of the cup

 After their goal-fest against Valencia, Leo Messi and Luis Suárez have equalled Munir and Guidetti as maximum goalscorers in the Copa del Rey, on five. Against Neville's team, the Argentinian claimed a hat trick, while the Uruguayan went one better and scored four. After such a pummelling, Barça are all but assured a place in the Cup final.
With this last hat trick, Messi has scored three or more goals on 34 occasions wearing the Barcelona shirt. Of these 34 times, four of them have been against Valencia, a rival that he loves to get his teeth into. After the three strikes that he claimed this Wednesday, Messi has now racked up 24 goals in total so far this season. 

For his part, Luis Suárez is on 35 across all competitions and is Barcelona's top marksman. Against Valencia, the Uruguayan scored four for the first time with 'Los Azulgranas', opening and closing the scoring against Ryan at the Camp Nou.
It wasn't Neymar's day, who even missed a penalty, but with the other two on such blinding form, it really didn't matter.
