It is a match that is going to be very hard, because it is against Real Madrid, in its field ... But we will win and we are confident that Then we will think about the next match, that of the League, we will try to get everything ", said an always ambitious, and also cautious, Leo Messi.

The player has surpassed the rival goals in LaLiga in 25 occasions He has only played 23 games, so his performance is spectacular: he goes a pace of more than one goal per game. Nobody follows him closely. It has no rival. Neither does it have it in Europe. The Argentine is on his way to become one more season in the continental top scorer and add the sixth Golden Boot.
But for that, there is still a lot to do, almost half of the season left to play. And the immediate calendar has reserved a double crossing against Real Madrid.

The second is more recent: in the 2013-2014 campaign. The Catalan team won at the Bernabéu by four goals to three.
Five years have passed since then, but Messi is still the same accurate and lethal striker in front of goal. And he arrives at the Classic in a scoring run.
