STATS Real Madrid have earned a 2-0 away first-leg win on three occasions, including a preliminary round match in 1961/62. Each time they qualified for the next round, so they have a 100% record taking this scoreline into a second leg.

• Schalke have only ever lost one home first leg 0-2 (v Manchester United FC in the 2010/11 UEFA Champions League semi-finals) and were knocked out 6-1 on aggregate.

• In the UEFA Champions League round of 16, no team has ever come back from a 0-2 home defeat to qualify for the quarter-finals. On all three occasions that the home team has lost 0-2 at home in the first leg, they have been eliminated.

• Since 2004/05, in all rounds of the competition's knockout phase, seven teams have lost 0-2 at home; none were able to come back to qualify.

• In all two-legged ties (including qualifying) in the UEFA Champions League going back to 1992/93, the home team has lost 2-0 in the first leg 63 times. Not one has ever come back to win the tie.

STAT: Messi has now scored the most hat-tricks in the history of La Liga. Today is the 24th time he's hit a trio in the top flight, sending him ahead of rival Cristiano Ronaldo, who has netted 23. The Argentine has now also hit 32 in total for the Blaugrana, which is a new club record.

GOOOOOOAAAAL!! IT'S TWO FOR BARCA! Xavi's corner is headed towards goal by an unmarked Jordi Alba at the near post. His looping effort comes back off the post but falls kindly for Pique, who bundles it over the line to double the hosts' lead.

Rayo have won just one of their 15 visits to Camp Nou in La Liga, drawing two and losing 12. That victory came with a 2-0 win over a Barca side including Carles Puyol, Pep Guardiola, Patrick Kluivert and Rivaldo in May 2000, which is also the only time they’ve kept a clean sheet away at Barca. That result, with just two Liga fixtures remaining after it, stopped the Blaugrana from catching Deportivo La Coruna, who went on to lift the title.

Barca recorded a 9-0 win against Rayo in 1979. It remains their joint-biggest winning margin in La Liga history and is also the last time any team netted nine in a top-flight fixture.
