BARCELONA, Spain -- Lionel Messi set another scoring record by netting a hat trick to pace Barcelonas 7-0 rout of Osasuna in the Spanish league on Sunday, ensuring the defending champions stayed in striking distance of leader Real Madrid before their critical "clasico" match next week. Brian Anderson Jersey . The three goals bring Messis career tally for Barcelona to 371 in all games -- including friendlies -- breaking the club record of 369 held by Paulino Alcantara since 1927. The 26-year-old Messi was already the clubs all-time leading scorer in official games. Messi assured Barcelonas fans they will enjoy his goals for years to come, saying "as long as people want me, I will stay here. My intention is to retire wearing the Barcelona shirt." The Argentina forward netted from close range to open the scoring at Camp Nou in the 18th minute. Alexis Sanchez made it 2-0 four minutes later before Andres Iniesta scored just his second goal of the season in the 34th. Messi struck twice more in the second half, either side of Cristian Tellos goal, to give him a team-leading 18 league goals this campaign, before he set up Pedro Rodriguez. It was Messis 20th career hat trick for Barcelona, to go with four four-goal games and one five-goal outing. Barcelona remained in third place, four points behind Madrid, ahead of their meeting in the Spanish capital next Sunday. Barcelonas big win, which matched its scoreline over Levante to start the season, came one week after it slumped to a 1-0 loss at Valladolid, which cast doubts on the teams ability to stay in the race for the league title with Madrid and second-place Atletico Madrid. But its victory midweek over Manchester City in the Champions League and this dominant performance appear to have restored its credit as a contender before Gerard Martinos team faces Madrid in a game that may go a long way to deciding the title. "We hope we can play a great game," Messi said about the upcoming clash at the Santiago Bernabeu. "We know it will be difficult, but we will do all we can to fight for the league title until the very end. We received a lot of criticism after the Valladolid match. We knew we didnt play well and this (win) boosts our confidence." Also, striker Imanol Agirretxes second-half header gave Real Sociedad a 1-0 win at home over Valencia, provisionally lifting the Basque side into fifth place. Villarreal can move back ahead of Sociedad on Monday when it hosts fourth-place Athletic Bilbao. Kevin Gameiro scored a double as Sevilla eased to a 4-1 win over Valladolid at home. Ivan Rakitic and Diogo Rosario also scored for Sevilla before Javi Guerra got Valladolids consolation goal. Real Betis drew 0-0 at Elche as it remained stuck at the bottom of the standings and winless in all 14 away games this season. Osasunas away woes continued as it again proved to be far from the side that has taken points from Barcelona, Madrid and Atletico this season in Pamplona. The visitors started as the more aggressive side, but Messi quickly ended thoughts of an upset when he glanced in Alexis low cross from a tight angle. Messis goal ignited Barcelonas attack, which put on an overwhelming passing display to secure the three points before halftime. Left back Jordi Alba worked a one-two combination with Iniesta before picking Alexis out arriving to the penalty spot where the Chile forward netted his 17th league goal of the season. It was then Iniestas turn to take a rare goal with a stinging left-footed strike from outside the area that flew past goalkeeper Andres Fernandez before landing in the far corner of the net. Barcelona kept pouring it on. Dani Alves, Xavi Hernandez and Iniesta all drew saves from Fernandez on both sides of halftime, while Pedro went close twice. Messi hit again in the 63rd after he and Iniesta broke down Osasunas left flank with a series of exchanges before firing home. Tello went on in the 76th and two minutes later he lashed in a long-range shot for Barcelonas fifth to completely demoralize Osasuna before Messi scored from a pass by Dani Alves in the 88th and laid off for Pedro to round out the demolition in injury time. Andre Dawson Jersey . The 19-year-old from Westmount, Que., was edged 7-5, 6-7 (5), 6-3 by third-seeded Alize Cornet of France. Cornet broke Bouchard twice in the last set and saved six break points in the three-hour match. JT Riddle Jersey . -- Kansas City Royals right-hander Luke Hochevar will have Tommy John surgery that will sideline the pitcher for the season. http://www.marlinsteamproshop.com/Marlins-Jose-Fernandez-Kids-Jersey/ . Moments after scoring and setting off another wild celebration at Minsk arena, Platt leapt into the arms of Belarusian captain Alexei Kalyuzhny. Hi.

Remember me? I havent written to you in a while because I have been busy working on what I think is a terrific special ... if I do say so myself. It is The 10 Most Fascinating People of 2004. The special airs tonight at 9:00 p.m. Eastern time, 8:00 p.m. Central. We have been doing the Fascinating People specials for the past l1 years but this is the best list we have ever had.

Heres the list:

Oprah Winfrey: She turned 50 this year and the whole country celebrated with her. We always find her fascinating but this year more than ever. Oprah feels her whole life has come into focus. She says she feels more alive, emotionally and physically. Oprah also gets deeply personal, telling us why she doesnt want to have children or get married.

Ken Jennings: The biggest winner ever of Jeopardy, Jennings is a charming, modest fellow who says that even his 2-year-old says Who is Ken Jennings instead of Daddy.

Donald Trump: The ultimate deal maker now with The Apprentice, which premiered last year, is a bigger deal than ever before. You will also meet his divine fiancée, Melania.

Usher: The R&B star, who sold more records than any other artist this year, sings for us and even tries to teach me to dance the way he does. As they say, good luck.

The Google Guys, Sergey Brin and Larry Page: Billionaires who still live the wayy they used to before Google. Martin Prado Jersey. How did we ever get along without Google?

Michael Moore: Love him or hate him, his documentary Fahrenheit 9/11 is the highest grossing documentary of all time. Wait until you hear his choices for president in 2008.

Mel Gibson: ...and his passion for The Passion of the Christ.

Curt Schilling: The Boston Red Sox pitcher who pitched his team to an amazing victory and helped win the World Series despite a wounded ankle that bled onto his red socks while he was throwing the winning balls.

Paris Hilton: Dont raise your eyebrows. You cant pick up a magazine without seeing her photograph. She also now has a best selling book, a perfume, jewelry, two movies, etc. Shes famous for being famous and it all came about from a private porno flick that became public. For the first time, she talks about it. By the way, I tried to dress hip by wearing a leather skirt and boots. Paris tried to look dignified, in a pink knitted suit, not a belly button in sight. We should have traded places.

Now then, No. 10 on our list is THE most fascinating person. We keep it a secret until the end of the program. Try guessing. Ill bet you are right.

I hope you will watch. The program is informative and fun.

Its good to talk with you again.
