( CNN ) -- Lionel Messi scored twice as Barcelona went back to the top of La Liga in a three-way title race with a 4-1 victory at Sevilla Sunday . The win drew them level on points with Real Madrid and Atletico , but at the summit because of a superior goal difference . The margin of victory in atrocious and wet conditions would have also helped the defending champion 's cause but they had to come from behind to secure the win . Alberto Moreno had put the hosts into an early 15th minute lead as his low strike deflected past Victor Valdes . More might have followed as Carlos Bacca hit the post with a header but Barca were level as Messi 's free kick found Alexis Sanchez , who appeared to be in an offside position before scoring . Messi , returning to his best after his injury layoff , put the Catalans ahead before the break with a superb half-volley . He hit the third early in the second half and Cesc Fabregas rounded off the scoring to make the three points safe . With 15 rounds remaining of the tightest Spanish title race in years , all three teams at the top have 57 points . All three are also still involved in the Champions League at the last 16 knockout stage as the season on a domestic and European level moves to an exciting climax . In Italy 's Serie A , defending champions Juventus maintained a nine-point advantage over Roma at the top despite being held to a 2-2 draw at Verona . Argentina star Carlos Tevez put Juve two up inside 21 minutes , but second half goals from Luca Toni and substitute Juan Gomez in stoppage time , salvaged a point for the home side . Roma were held to a goalless draw by Lazio and failed to make up ground . Meanwhile in France 's Ligue 1 , champions Paris Saint German played out a 1-1 draw with nearest title rivals Monaco . An own goal from PSG captain Thiago Silva cost them three points after Javier Pastore put them ahead after eight minutes . But they still lead big-spending Monaco by five points with 14 rounds remaining .
Barcelona beat Sevilla 4-1 in Paris . 2 goals from Messi . Barcelona top on goal difference from Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid . Verona held 2 -2 at Verona but maintain nine point lead in Atletico Madrid .
