Leading through Dimitris Nikolaou's 18th-minute own goal, Barcelona suffered a setback when defender Gerard Pique, who had earlier been booked for pulling back Vadis Odjidja-Ofoe, received a second yellow card.
That was shown to him for handling as he attempted to turn Gerard Deulofeu's cross home.
However, Messi's fine 61st-minute free-kick and a third goal from Lucas Digne eased the home side well clear. Nikolaou's late header provided little consolation as victory left the Catalan side clear at the top of Group D with three wins from three.
