Sunday’s game promises to be a real blockbuster as its outcome could have a huge bearing on who will potentially lift this season's domestic league trophy. After 26 games, just five points separate Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, with the former’s three draws in their last five games playing a significant role in how things stand.
Nevertheless, one man who will be reeling to help the Catalans consolidate their occupancy atop La Liga will be the talismanic Lionel Messi. The Argentine international is currently topping this season’s Pichichi leaderboard with his 23 goals.
Should the chance present itself, the 30-year-old forward will look to increase his tally against Los Rojiblancos having already netted 26 times in 33 matches. At the Camp Nou, the five-time Ballon d'Or winner boasts of 15 goals against the Madrid club.
Watch the video below for all of Messi’s goals against Atletico Madrid at Camp Nou:
