- Leo failed to create a goal by scoring or assisting in four games this season.
- Two of those games were 30-minute cameos.
Lionel Messi continues to prove that age is just a number as he is showing amazing football with unbelievable figures at 31 years old. The Argentine has already managed 29 goals and 14 assists in 28 matches this season.
Moreover, there were only four games where Leo failed to create a goal this season. He didn't score or assist in the matches against Real Valladolid at the notorious Zorilla stadium, Real Sociedad at the Anoeta, Tottenham in the Champions League and the latest El Clasico in the Copa del Rey. Curiously, Messi has only played 30 minutes against both the Spurs and the Whites.
Messi keeps making history at Barcelona as he has long been the leading scorer of the total Spanish top-tier. He has recently netted his 400th La Liga goal. This season alone, he has already scored 21 league goals - the first player across the European top five divisions to reach this figure. He is on the course of his record-breaking SIXTH Golden Shoe award.
The forward is currently recovering from a minor injury and his participation in the game against Athletic Bilbao on Sunday is uncertain. He started the midweek Clasico on the bench and was introduced after an hour of play. Messi clearly needs a bit of practice to get back to his best as he wasn't able to deliver his trademark jaw-dropping football against Los Blancos on Wednesday.
