Turan triggers Barca blitz

Arda Turan fired a hat-trick and Lionel Messi notched his 10th Champions League goal of the season as much-changed Barcelona cruised past Borussia Monchengladbach 4-0 at Camp Nou on Tuesday.

Barca had already booked its place in the last 16 as Group C winner, but was looking for a morale-boosting win after three straight stalemates, including the concession of a last-minute equalizer to Real Madrid in a 1-1 draw on Saturday.

Messi continued to cut the gap on Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo as the Champions League's all-time top scorer when he opened the scoring in the 16th minute.
